Troubleshooting

Install

Install the package that matches your distribution:

• .deb (Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives):

• .rpm (Fedora, RHEL):

• .rpm (openSUSE):

• AppImage (any distribution, no administrator privileges required): make the file executable and run it directly, e.g.

The first run registers the liveedit:// protocol handler and autostart entry automatically for the current user.

Uninstall

Steps to uninstall the application correctly:

• .deb:

• .rpm (Fedora, RHEL):

• .rpm (openSUSE):

• AppImage: there is nothing to uninstall at the system level — stop the running process and delete the desktop/autostart entries created on first run:

RPM: "signature public key is not available"

The .rpm package is signed with OpenKM's own GPG key. On a machine where that key has never been used before, dnf/zypper report the package's signature as present but from an unknown key, for example:

This is expected the first time the package is installed on a given machine — it means the signature itself is valid, but the public key used to create it has not been imported into that machine's trust store yet. To fix it:

1. Obtain OpenKM's public key file, openkm-liveedit-linux-public.asc , from an official OpenKM source.

2. Import it into the system's RPM keyring (only needed once per machine):

   sudo rpm --import openkm-liveedit-linux-public.asc

3. Install the package again with dnf install/zypper install as usual — it should now proceed without any signature warning.

System tray icon not visible on GNOME

On GNOME desktop environments without any extension (Fedora Workstation, for example), the system tray icon is not shown after starting the application. This is a known limitation of GNOME itself, not an application error: the background process keeps running normally (protocol handling, autosave, check-in) even though no icon is visible.

To make the tray icon appear:

1. Install the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support extension:

   sudo dnf install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator # Fedora/RHEL
   sudo zypper install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator # openSUSE, if applicable

2. Enable it:

   gnome-extensions enable appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com

   Verify it is active with gnome-extensions list --enabled (it should list appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com).

3. Restart the application after enabling the extension. Enabling the extension while the application is already running is not enough — the icon will not appear until the application is stopped and started again:

   pkill -9 -f liveedit-daemon

   Then open the application again (or log out and back in if it is set to start automatically).
