Ubuntu 13.10: shut down menu, clock and date missing

[theredbaron908]

I have gnome fallback session. It was fine, and then one day I noticed that those items were missing from the top bar. I tried updating and upgrading, but it fixed nothing. When I try
sudo killall unity-panel-service
unity-panel-service: no process found


but also
sudo apt-get install unity
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
unity is already the newest version.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
openjdk-7-jre-lib
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.



I tried a few attempts posted online, but nothing helped.

I've seen the clock disappear from the panel in Unity but after a reboot it was back. Sorry if I missed it in your post but are those elements still gone from the panel after a reboot?

Yes, definitely rebooting does NOT help.. Clock, date and shutdown menu are constantly and consistently missing.

I am having the same issue as the OP. The top menu bar works if I log in with Unity, which I don't like, but not with the Gnome Fallback. Anyone have any advise on how to fix this?

It probably uninstalled.
try this in terminal


sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime

Okay, tried that and it read that I have the latest version installed.
