Ubuntu Installation :: Shutdown/Power Icon On Far Right Top Panel Disappeared?
Apr 3, 2011
After a recent upgrade, the red power icon in the far right of the upper panel disappeared. In its place is a half obscured copy of my user name, which appears right next to my user name (along with the chat icon). The chat icon/user name is functional, as it is supposed to be, but the half obscured user name that replaced my shutdown/restart power icon is just a bug, and has no function. Not only is it unsightly, but I miss the power icon. Yes, I can right-click on the panel and add one, but it doesn't allow me to drag it all the way to the far upper-right corner, where it is supposed to be located... I found this post in another thread: sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session, but it did nothing to solve my problem.. I'm running 64-bit 10.10, btw, if that makes any difference.
somehow I right clicked on the panel at the top and then left clicked on something that made the panel disappear permenantly. now when I turn the computer on it goes to the login screen, I put in my password and the desktop has no panel bar across the top of the screen (no way to even run a program) to turn in off I have to push the power button. how do I get my panel back? standard ubuntu 10.04 64 bit not server.
After a recent upgrade I have lost the top right icon in the top panel - so I cannot Set Status, Lock Screen, Guest Session, Switch User ..... Restart, Shutdown. I have right clicked on the top panel and installed the Shutdown icon so I can shutdown but I have lost all the other functions including the 60secs countdown. Is there any way I can get the standard top right icon in the top panel?
Yesterday some of my most important icons disappeared such as the power menus with the name, my clock and my Network icon.Now i have managed to get back the clock and power icons but not my network and amsn icons back and are the ones that
and I can't seem to get it to come back. does anyone know how I can get it to come back? It's really inconvenient having to open System > preferences > sound just to change the volume on anything.
I did some maintenance and had to reinstall indicator applet on the panel. Now I'm missing the status applet (the one with the logged in username, and quick access to change chat status - power button to restart, shut down, hibernate...).
There's a way of getting it back? What package should I install again that maybe I missed?
I keep losing the normal icon top left in the top panel that gives options to power down/restart etc. Is this a know fault with 10.04 - I can get it back with a terminal command but it would be nice if it remained there all the time.
technically, this is UNR with lxde installed after extended UNR use. i like being able to hit my power button in gnome, and getting a message asking what you want to do, or cancel if needed. well, in lxde, the shutdown button brings up a similar message. could i map the power button to show that popup in lxde?
I have Ubuntu 10.10 on e-machine T-1221 I can shut down the machine using :
sudo shutdown -h from terminal
I can shutdown using powerbutton on case. I can't use the applet indicator powerbutton in root account, but, I can use the command under "System-->-Shutdown" in root account, but I don't see "System-->-Shutdown" in users account. Is there a way to add it ? I installed Debian 6.0 Squeeze on my Acer Aspire 3620 Laptop it works just fine and has the same Gnome Desktop. The only thing different is that there is no powerbutton available thru Gnome applets, only the command on menu under" Sytem-->-Shutdown", which I'm fine with on this machine.
These are the things I tried on emachine T-1221
I tried "acpi=force" I tried "noacpi" I tried "noacpi nolapic"
I read the bug reports it stated that on live-cd there was only suspend and hibernate. There is no shutdown or reboot. I tried: "#start acpi", it closed with errors. It said that Ubuntu uses upstart. Is there a script which you can add to power button to add the shutdown.? Really I don't necessarily need powerbutton, I think the work around would be adding the command to "System-->-Menu.
I am using fedora8. I suddenly noticed that the gnome-power-manager icon (battery icon) has gone missing from my panel. How can I get it back ? I donot see it in the add to panel list so it must have got uninstalled somehow, isn't it so ?
Ive had a few freeze ups on this system but the last time it affected the top panel.The wireless icon has disappeared to be replaced by an extra bluetooth icon.screenshot attached.Is there any kind of clean up utility (like tune up utilities in win)Also, any kind of log so I can trace this freeze up Iḿ getting.Ive only just got this laptop so dont know if it did it before although prev owner never mentioned it.
I upgraded to 11.04 already. Everything worked fine but after a few reboots suddenly the launcher and the top & bottom panel have disappeared. Anyone an idea how to solve this?
When I start the tightvncserver (vncserver -geometry 1600x1024 :1) and then connect to it with a vncviewer (tightvnc 1.3.0 on Win7 or vncviewer on 9.10) and then start a terminal (gnome-terminal or xterm) the m key it opens the envelope tab on the panel. The 's' key opens the shutdown applet.This did not happen on 9.10, or earlier
I've noticed recently that an error icon keeps appearing on my panel. When I mouse over it, it reads "The update information is outdated .This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail.".I used the Update Manager to check for security patches. When I do so, there are a few sources that failed. How do I correct this error? I have already run "sudo apt-get update" but this doesn't solve the issue.I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS by the way.
Someone on the forums had me uninstall pulseaudio to get pSX working, and now I don't have a volume control icon on the panel and when choosing to add stuff to the panel it isn't available.I re-installed pulseaudio through the package manager, but I have a feeling it didn't install everything that uninstalled with it.
There has been a red circle icon with a big white bar through it in the notifications area of my panel for days now. The alt-text (is that what it's called for an icon?) says "A problem occurred when checking for the updates." When I click on the icon the update manager appears and "builds data structures" but says there are no updates available.
Kwallet is off. Then I install a wireless device under WPA. Wired icon starts to change to wireless icon, but does not and goes back to wired icon. Hovering pointer over wired icon shows wired device installed as well as wireless device. How do I keep the wireless icon in place after installing WPA to wireless device?
so im not sure what just happened but my power button at the top right just disappeared. thought it ok ill just add it back to the panel but the only thing is a power button that dose not give the option to log off or switch user. there is something for that but nether can be put back at the top right.now I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I saw that 11.04 is out so then I thought that ill just update. but I this is my first update, and I dont know how it works. will all the stuff that I have done to this computer to make it work go away and I will have to do all that again. or will it be like the small updates where it just fixes things
I think this occurred after I used Update Manager, but the shutdown menu up the top right has disappeared! In its place is my name (like a repeat from the chat menu). I know I can restart with: sudo shutdown -r now But why has this error occurred?
my username superimposes the turn off button on the menu bar. Now on the top-right corner of the screen, I have my username displayed twice, consecutively. I am unable to turn off or logout as the icon itself is missing.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx 32 bit version alongside my Windows OS.I wanted to enable my DHCP configuration in my modem.So I did what was to be done from Windows and when I switched to Linux, I found DHCP enabled connection not working in Linux and also the network manager icon had vanished from the systray.I have now switched off DHCP and wanted to revert back to my original settings but still no network manager icon is there.
the icon for Firefox in the top panel disappeared when I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. Now I have just a grey square (which launches Firefox when I click it, mind you...) It's no big deal and I didn't do anything until today, but
I'm running Fedora 11 with KDE desktop. Yesterday I installed several updates, including a kernel update. Now the Shutdown and Restart icons have disappeared from the Leave menu, which only contains the icons for "Logout", "Lock", "Switch User", "Suspend to Ram" and "Suspend to Disk". I had "Shutdown" and "Restart" icons in my Favorites menu, but when selected they open a "Logout" dialogue.
I can Shutdown and Restart from the command line, but would like to restore the capability to do it from the icons. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix?
For some reason the shutdown/hibernate/logout options has disappeared from the Indicator session. I can still set my status in EmpathyI have tried reverting to gnome panel defaults (gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel), removing and readding and I've checked synaptics and it seems I have everything indicator-related installed.
take it as read im still learning Ubuntu and occassionally do stupid things, like click on the unsubcribe buttons on unwanted email.
Did that and for some obscure reason i lost the default firefox icon from the top task bar. I could make a launcher on the desktop but i failed to find the firefox exe. I did get it to show hidden files, found the firefox folder but no exe file or similiar to launch.
Would someone be so kind as to tell me where to drill so i can at least put the firefox launcher on the desktop. As a fill in im using chromium, and i did find its folder hidden in firefox's.
