Ubuntu – Why are indicator applets not working

indicator

The indicator applet and the indicator applet session are not showing anything for some reason. Last time I was on ubuntu they were working fine.

alt text

Does anyone know why this might happen?

The last time I was on Ubuntu, I had uninstalled unity, would that have anything to do with this?

Best Answer

From the screenshot it looks like you're missing sound and message indicators.

Uninstalling unity will have removed these indicators too, so you just need to reinstall them and hopefully restarting (logging off should do it) will put everything back.

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet indicator-messages indicator-sound

Make sure that the indicator-me package is installed. If it was and you added the Indicator Applet Session and the MeMenu was still gone. Try the following:

gconftool – -recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel

You might need a reboot after that as well.

Ubuntu – Why does the Messaging Indicator display 3 instances of Inbox

As far as I know, each account you set up with Evolution will have its own inbox showing because they do not share the same inbox. I use Evolution with my school email and Gmail addresses, and they have 2 different inboxes in Evolution.
I'm not sure myself; I am actually wondering whether this could be filed as a bug report on Launchpad.
They do on my system, at least when Evolution is open but its window does not have focus.
