I just installed xubuntu 12.04 parallel to xubuntu 11.10 ... But I can't get the date/time indicator to work in both of em ...
xfce4-indicator-plugin is installed ... the message and sound indicator is working!
please help me!
does this help:
scroll to the header Multiple Boot Systems Time Conflicts
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime
uhm ... No ... I'm sorry, my post is quite confusing ... :-|
I don't think it has something to do with the multiboot system, because the date/time indicator has never worked on the old system before.
It was my hope that the problem solves itself when a new version of ubuntu comes out ... But it appears that the xfce4-indicator-plugin isn't working with the date/time indicator ...
Is the DateTime plugin available as a choice to add to the panel? Or is it missing. If its missing, make sure that the xfce4-datetime-plugin package is installed. If it is installed but is not loading, can you post back the contents of your ~/.xsession-errors file:Quote:

Maybe something in there can help identify the source of the problem.
The date/time plugin of the xfce panel is working fine, but I want to exchange it for the date/time indicator, because of it's integration of the calendar of evolution.
However, I did upload the .xsession-errors here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1157863/
There are several ones resembling this in the file:
As you can see the indicator is installed (as well as the gtk2-module), but this might be the reason why I can't get it to work! Is there any way to force the indicator-plugin to load a specific indicator-module.Code:(xfce4-indicator-plugin:1768): xfce4-indicator-plugin-DEBUG: Excluding module: libdatetime.so
Thanks for your help :)
I'm not able to test this, but what if you removed xfce4-datetime-plugin?
OK ... I experimented with some package configurations ...
After this reconfiguration and restarting the indicator-plugin on a fresh xubuntu-system, the datetime-indicator appears!Code:sudo aptitude -y install xfce4-datetime-plugin_ orage_ indicator-datetime-gtk2+ indicator-applet+
Any idea how to change the order of the indicators?! Right now the clock is between network-manager and sound-indicator and it looks kinda strange that way!
I haven't tested it, but maybe this (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/how-t...ndicators.html) will also work on Xubuntu?Quote:

But I managed to find out that my sole problem seems to be the application-indicator. I don't need it, it was just coming with the date/time indicator. But removing it via synaptic lets the date/time indicator vanish too ... So I got sick of the non-configurability of the indicators and simply deleted the application-indicator-libraries:
And now it's working: NO application-indicator BUT date/time-indicator!Code:/usr/lib/indicators/7/libapplication.so
/usr/lib/indicators3/7/libapplication.so
Thanks for your help!!
BTW: If anyone has more elegant solutions, I'd be interested in those too ... ;)
