Only GNOME extension and native icons are displayed. Other icons like Dropbox, shutter, enpass etc. do not appear in the top bar.

Am I missing something? I already tried using extensions that I used with GNOME before but nothing (Topicons Plus, Ubuntu appindicators etc.) seems to help.

Currently I'm using Ubuntu Xorg, but in Wayland I have the same issue.

I've encountered the same problem. I tried to remove the indicator-application-service completely, and see, the problem went away!
I guess coming from 16.04 leaves some Unity-related stuff on my machine that is not only obsolete but prevents the AppIndicator extension from properly working.

What to do:

sudo apt remove indicator-application

I have the same problem with 17.10. At least the following command helps here to bring the icons back until the next reboot:

killall indicator-application-service

Edit: This workaround is running fine here without using any gnome-extension like "Topicon-plus" or "Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support".

  Yes, in Ubuntu 17.10. Directly after upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10 the indicators were shown, but after rebooting Ubuntu not anymore. With this upper workarround i can bring them back until next reboot.

As suggested here, try removing all obsolete indicators if any still present

indicator-application

indicator-appmenu

indicator-bluetooth

indicator-common

indicator-datetime

indicator-keyboard

indicator-messages

indicator-network

indicator-power

indicator-printers

indicator-session

indicator-sound

indicator-transfer

indicator-transfer-download-manager

Just execute this command in a terminal:

sudo apt purge indicator-application indicator-appmenu indicator-bluetooth indicator-common indicator-datetime indicator-keyboard indicator-messages indicator-network indicator-power indicator-printers indicator-session indicator-sound indicator-transfer indicator-transfer-download-manager

Another possible solution is delete Indicator-application autostart .desktop file. It's installed in

/etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop

If you dont want to remove it and sometimes is using Unity 7. This made Indicator-application not start at login.

Nothing from suggested works for Shutter app in Ubuntu 18.04 as libgtk2-appindicator-perl package has been removed from main repo. To enable the Shutter indicator in Ubuntu 18.04 install libappindicator-dev:

libappindicator-dev

and Gtk2::AppIndicator perl extension:

sudo cpan -i Gtk2::AppIndicator

Restart Shutter, its indicator should appear now in system tray.

  There's a PPA that brings back the AppIndicator for Shutter, and every other feature missing due to removed dependencies (even those that are no longer available in Ubuntu for a long time, like the feature to take a screenshot of a website): linuxuprising.com/2018/10/…

In all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install indicator-applet-complete 

Indicator-applet is an applet to display information from various applications consistently in the GNOME panel. This instance will load all indicators in a single panel applet.

Click the nine dots on your dock.

At the search field write "tweak". You will see gnome tweak tools:

If you don't have it installed you can click it and that will open software center. You can install it from there.

After, run tweaks and go to extensions.

Just turn the appindicators on and you will have a working system tray where you can see the dropbox, telegram or other icons.

Andrea.

Non so se sia la risposta giusta per il tuo problema; io ho risolto andando su impostazioni di sistema,
dispositivi,
schermi,
schermo singolo,
display integrato.
Perché mi apriva le icone su Unity, selezionata icona di programma con un pallino arancione a sinistra dell'icona, ma non riuscivo a vedere la finestra relativa perché la apriva nello schermo accanto, che risultava invisibile e inaccessibile. Dopo la modifica da due schermi a schermo singolo riesco a vedere le finestre relative alle applicazioni e a lavorarci.

I have the same problem with 17.10. At least the following command helps here to bring the icons back until the next reboot:

killall indicator-application-service

Edit: This workaround is running fine here without using any gnome-extension like "Topicon-plus" or "Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support".

  Yes, in Ubuntu 17.10. Directly after upgrading from 17.04 to 17.10 the indicators were shown, but after rebooting Ubuntu not anymore. With this upper workarround i can bring them back until next reboot.

  Cool! Theoretically one can then auto-execute this command at startup and won't have to bother again.

  Yes, i am use an extension called "Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support", but i am not sure if it works because of the extension. Got this tip from OMGUbuntu-Website.

As suggested here, try removing all obsolete indicators if any still present

indicator-application

indicator-appmenu

indicator-bluetooth

indicator-common

indicator-datetime

indicator-keyboard

indicator-messages

indicator-network

indicator-power

indicator-printers

indicator-session

indicator-sound

indicator-transfer

indicator-transfer-download-manager

Just execute this command in a terminal:

sudo apt purge indicator-application indicator-appmenu indicator-bluetooth indicator-common indicator-datetime indicator-keyboard indicator-messages indicator-network indicator-power indicator-printers indicator-session indicator-sound indicator-transfer indicator-transfer-download-manager

Another possible solution is delete Indicator-application autostart .desktop file. It's installed in

/etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop

If you dont want to remove it and sometimes is using Unity 7. This made Indicator-application not start at login.

Nothing from suggested works for Shutter app in Ubuntu 18.04 as libgtk2-appindicator-perl package has been removed from main repo. To enable the Shutter indicator in Ubuntu 18.04 install libappindicator-dev:

libappindicator-dev

and Gtk2::AppIndicator perl extension:

sudo cpan -i Gtk2::AppIndicator

Restart Shutter, its indicator should appear now in system tray.

  There's a PPA that brings back the AppIndicator for Shutter, and every other feature missing due to removed dependencies (even those that are no longer available in Ubuntu for a long time, like the feature to take a screenshot of a website): linuxuprising.com/2018/10/…
