Ubuntu – How to add indicator-datetime to the panel

10.10gnome-panelindicatorpanel

I'm using maverick desktop edition and I'd like to use indicator-datetime instead of the usual clock. I installed it using software center but even after restarting I don't find it in the "Add to panel" list. Maybe I'm trying to install it in the wrong way? Or should I add that indicator using terminal? If so, could you tell me how to do that? Thanks in advance!

Best Answer

Currently your indicator menus are loaded by either indicator-applet or indicator-applet-session, and none of those show the indicator-datetime menu. You can replace those 2 applets, plus the old clock applet by 1 single applet indicator-applet-complete (and you have to install that one first). The indicator-applet-complete applet will show indicator-datetime if it's installed.

So currently you have the following applets at the right side of the panel:

| notification area | indicator-applet | clock | indicator-applet-session |

And you have to change it to:

| notification area | indicator-applet-complete |
