Trusty Gnome flashback indicator-applet-complete disappeared

[Cavsfan]

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

Oh Noz! I am in the middle of doing a clean install of Trusty. I figured it was time. I got that iso before there were daily ISOs. We shall soon see what I get. About to do first reboot after installing nvidia drivers.

Completed the re-install and the indicators are back. None of it works: logout, shutdown, no restart option. But Saucy is in the same state. Haven't tried suspend but, it used to work.
It was time I guess for a re-install. Still trying to figure out how to get date to display along with time which does display.

I have Cairo Dock for all of the functions that do not work.

Nope .. no indicators here either.

You mean the whole top right panel is blank as in my previous picture or the indicators do not work?

Here is what I have now:



I did a clean install from today's ISO. Got everything copied back into places then installed gnome-session-flashback via CLI and it suggested but didn't install desktop-base so I installed that. I think a bunch of stuff came with that.
Then it suggested but did not install gnome so I installed that and a flood of stuff was installed then.

I have never tried flashback with no effects always just chose flashback. LoL I just now seen where you said you were in Lunity
I disabled the Unity bar in CCSM one time but it's still not Gnome. That is a total waste of space IMO.

I am speaking specifically of the edubuntu version. I kept getting errors - unity-system-compositor- but aport will not send , crashes .. or wahtever it does .. (it did not send a report because no network activity after authentication).

But I did update and got this (plus added screenshot).

otherwise Unity works great and so does gnome-flashback (both) on Ubuntu only (but not Edubuntu).

I just got those same updates and yeah my system errors sometimes and nothing goes any where. It will ask for my password a few times but nothing happens.

I see it is just Edubuntu you mean. Thanks for the clarification.
On this install I just commented out the extra repositories; the first time I changed "trusty" to "saucy" as some had suggested but, I think I'll just leave this commented out until there is one for Trusty.

Too bad the Ubuntu developers couldn't just pull some code from the Cairo Dock Logout button functionality and add it to the logout button at the top right of the top panel.

IMHO that would only mean adding additional unneeded packages

I think we should keep it light and simple.

Apparently you didn't understand what I meant. The code in the dock logout button (Shutdown, Restart, Suspend, Logout, Switch User, Lock Screen, etc.) works well. Copy that code and use it in the top panel.

I was not talking about "adding additional unneeded packages".

What exactly does not work for you? Are you using default configuration? Menu Bar on left and indicator applet complete on right? I can logout, restart, shutdown and suspend without problems.
