please bring this issue upstream, if its an upstream problem including details from you about your environment and desktop you are using.

for investigation you could run strace or try getting more verbose log output

I'm getting this bug too. I don't know which upstream software package to report this for since might it not apply to a variety of programs?

OK, from here: https://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/96-Installing-pgAdmin4-3.X-on-RHEL-CentOS-7-and-Fedora-27.html

> As of GNOME 3.26, the system tray was removed, which caused pgAdmin4 to fail to start. To tackle this issue, this package pulls in a GNOME shell extensions called "topicons-plus", and enables it.

A workaround is to just install https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/

Frankly I'm kind of disappointed by the way they chose to implement this...

The situation is slightly less bad if you use this extension:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/495/topicons/

Definitely take this upstream. Assuming that a system tray is available and hard aborting because it's not is not even close to sane behavior.

the bug is fixed in pgadmin4 3.2

please update the PKGBUILD,

this one works for me

https://pastebin.com/hF1ehUN6

please note that I removed the signature in my test PKGBUILD, thanks!

@Nicola: stop posting PKGBUILDs as comment text and espacially stop silently removing signatures without notice
Comment by Nicola (drakkan) - Thursday, 16 August 2018, 10:40 GMT
If you don't care about missing signature you can use the package here

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pgadmin4-systray-fix/

as temporary workaround
