How can I put these on the notification area of the panel?

[pretty_whistle]

I have ubuntu 14.04 with xfce desktop.

I want the wireless icon and the power icon to be on the panel but they're not in the list you can choose from. How can I put these there?

Hi

They should appear when you boot into your desktop.

I would start off by posting your xsession-errors.log file in your home directory to see if that holds any clues as to why they are not starting.

Kind regards

Where is that? I cant find xsession-errors.log.

Hi

My mistake. It should be

.xsession-errors

Notice the leading dot or period. It`s a hidden file in your home directory.

To see it in the file browser hit <ctrl> and h at the same time. This will display hidden files.

I may not be able to look at it until wednesday though.

Kind regards

Have you installed the xfce4-goodies package ? The package includes the indicators you are looking for and more.

Apologies if this question seems stupid, but do you have them installed? I think many of the plugins are not installed by default.

Really?

No I haven't installed it. How do I install it?

Edit: never mind. I see it.

Thanx!

Thanx again frog!

Marking this as solved.
