Trusty Gnome flashback indicator-applet-complete disappeared

[mc4man]

Both flashback sessions work ok here, all the indicators show up & work.

Maybe go to ~/.cache & delete the upstart folder.
Then log out/in & see what shows up in ~/.cache/upstart/ gnome-session.log & dbus.log

fresh dbus.log here right after login

I took out most of the normal compiz lines in gnome-session.log.

[mc4man]

Well your dbus.log is showing no indication of even trying to load the indicators/services

You only need indicator-appmenu-complete installed though indicator-application is a recommend so may as well be installed.

Things to ck. -
Do you have the various indicators installed? (indicator-session, indicator-datetime, indicator-power, indicator-messages, indicator-sound, ect.

If the various indicators are installed, what happens in a guest session? (at least here you must log out of user session to go to a guest session

[stoneguy]

I chimed in on the Launchpad report, and added some info on how we may be seeing different things.

I have all of the above installed. I had disabled the guest login like always so I had to re-enable that and reboot.
Upon trying to use the guest login I selected Gnome Flashback but it still logged into Unity. I tried several times and it did the same thing everytime. I even tried Gnome Classic and it still loaded Unity.

I chimed in on the Launchpad report, and added some info on how we may be seeing different things.

So, you are saying that in CSSM when you make it 1 panel the indicators display properly but, not with 4 panels?

[muktupavels]

Did you try to re-add indicator applet complete to panel?

[Cavsfan]

Did you try to re-add indicator applet complete to panel?

I purged indicator-applet-complete, re-installed it and rebooted still nothing.

Here is what I have:

cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ apt-cache policy indicator-applet-complete
indicator-applet-complete:
  Installed: 12.10.2+13.10.20130924.2-0ubuntu1

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

indicator-application-gtk2 is not installed. Should it be?

[kansasnoob]

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu i386 20131111 today and all seems well

I think once things have been tweaked a gazillion times that it's best to start over, and the installer needs to be tested continuously

[muktupavels]

I purged indicator-applet-complete, re-installed it and rebooted still nothing.

Reinstalling won't add it to panel. If it is removed than you need manualy add back to panel.

[ventrical]

I upgraded Edubuntu today and gnome-flashback (no effects) will not even come up. Just the background screen. I'm using lunity now. lol
