I just installed Elementary Loki How do I get caffeine to work?

It does not show up. If I run it from the term.. I get PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded. from gi.repository import GObject, Gtk, GLib

  • What version of elementary are you using?

  • Can you tell us what steps you followed in installing caffeine? And what version you installed. Also, I noticed some tray icons don't show up right in Loki. Maybe it's running in the background? Try to have a look at the running processes.

  • Here's the launchpad page for caffeine binaries intended for ubuntu xenial (16.04), can you check you have all the listed dependencies installed and up to date? launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/caffeine

I found the solution. I needed to add the ppa for caffeine

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt upgrade

That seemed to do the trick. Now I have caffeine indicator. Works well.
