Ubuntu – Indicators do not accept mouse clicks

indicatorpanelunity

Since today the Unity systray icons for network, audio and messaging do not react on mouse clicks. Only data, me-menu and system-menu do react. When I open of them and move the mouse to the non-reacting icons they open. How can I fix or reset the Unity panel (indicator area)?

Try installing the "dconf-tools" from software center.

Press ALT + F2 to run a command and search for

dconf-editor

Highlight the whitelist entry as shown in the picture and click the Set To Default button.

How do I set the panel whitelist back to the default?

Ubuntu – Panel icons disappear at startup

It happens to me to from time to time. I don't know the cause.

To make the missing panel indicators reappear without rebooting you can restart the indicators manually by running the following command in a terminal or with Alt+F2

restart unity-panel-service

The panel indicators will blink off for a second, and then all of the panel indicators will restart and immediately reappear.

In Ubuntu 15.04 and later restart the panel indicators manually by running the following command:

systemctl --user restart unity-panel-service

In Ubuntu 17.10 and later GNOME has replaced Unity as the default desktop environment. To make the missing panel indicators reappear without rebooting in Ubuntu 17.10 and later run the following command:

setsid gnome-shell --replace # Press Enter again before closing the terminal.
