clockgnome-classicgnome-panelindicatorpanel
I've been using Ubuntu with Gnome Classic for a while and I've noticed recently that in the "Indicator Applet Complete" in the Top Panel, my name and the clock have disappeared.
I think it happened a while ago when I was messing around with packages. Every time I did apt-get… it would say "the following packages can be removed by apt-get autoremove", so I did it and then the clock and my name stopped appearing.
Can anyone help me? Thanks. It would be greatly appreciated.
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.
Using dconf-editor you can set various options to control the indicator-datetime applet
Navigate to com.canonical.indicator.datetime and tick the two checkboxes shown.
dconf-editor is part of the dconf-tools package which you can install from the Software Center or via a terminal command:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
If the date does not appear then check that you have the indicator-datetime package installed (logoff and logon after installing the package)
Later versions of Ubuntu sometimes do not show the path shown in the picture. You'll need to manually set one of the keys first before the path is shown in dconf-editor
For example:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-clock true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-day true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-date true
Best Answer
Reinstall indicator-datetime.
