I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04 (beta). I have set anydesk for background running. After successfully upgrading to the 23.04, I found a rectangular area nearer to the right upper corner repeatedly opening anydesk on the right click on it. While using other applications, there is no response to click on it. That means I can't do minimize, maximize or close the respective window while moving the window out of that certain area every click works as usual. So I uninstall anydesk which solves my problem.

I really need to use anydesk. Can anyone help me to solve the issue ?

I used this command sudo systemctl restart gdm3 to restart the desktop which clears the problem, the problem returns when anydesk is used next time, so only a clumsy workaround. Also you can swap the corners of the title bar buttons using Tweaks.

  • This is worked for me after install the gnome-extension-manager as it was not installed. I followed this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406598/gnome-shell-extensions-not-working-in-ubuntu-22-04 – aibrahim Mar 17 '24 at 14:00

It's because of anydesk.

Just simply go to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com

 cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com

and check appIndicator.js file is present or not by.

ls

if file is there just simply rename it with appIndicator.bak.

sudo mv appIndicator.js appIndicator.bak

and just restart your system.

reboot

now you can use anydesk without any issue. what it does is it will lose the app indicators in the top right corner but now that area is clickable.

Disabling anydesk service resolved the issue since it will halt autostart after each reboot.

To disable anydesk:

systemctl disable anydesk.service

I used the following workaround:

  • Installed a virtualbox on ubuntu 23.04;
  • Installed windows 11 inside virtualbox;
  • Inside windows 11, installed the Anydesk;
  • Use Anydesk inside windows 11, inside dropbox, inside Ubuntu.

I hope it helps.

Best regards
