Can't see name in Gnome shell?

[Cheddie_Merai]

I have Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS and from installation, my name has not appeared in the panel. I have enabled it via dconf in org.gnome.desktop.privacy, but it has yet to appear even after a re-login and restart.
Can I receive some assistance into the cause of this and a solution?


Thank You

The user name appears in the drop-down menu on the top right rather than on the top panel in the Gnome Shell 3.10 and 3.12, is this what you are referring to?

I think that's been deprecated, at least in Ubuntuland.

Youi might find an extension for it, maybe
