Same issue on NixOS.
I installed it via my /etc/configuration.nix file as described in your documentation:
https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/installation/linux#nix-os-22-11-unstable

@guija could you tell me more about your setup? Which nixpkgs channel/branch are you using? What is the desktop environment and how are you setting it up?

the UI and tray icon works just fine for me on:

  • nixos-unstable
  • Sway (Wayland)
  • waybar with it's default tray plugin

@nazarewk Does the tray sub-menus work on your side? Like the "About" or "Settings" sub-menus? I have a similar setup as yours (Netbird 0.59.10 on NixOS unstable + Waybar), but with Hyprland instead of Sway. The tray works but sub-menus are all empty. I wonder if the issue comes from Netbird, Hyprland, or Waybar. Sorry for hijacking the discussion, I can create another issue if necessary. Appreciate any help.

Edit: It appears to be an issue with Waybar. I've migrated to ashell for the time being, the tray sub-menus work as intended.

@alexandre-abrioux

Does the tray sub-menus work on your side?

Not since they were introduced, this is an upstream library issue https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne/issues/4843
