Still having the problem repeatedly where the gear icon, clock and more don't show up in the top status bar. Repeatedly. Every time. But things have gotten both better and worse.
I found that if I select gnome or gnome flashback that everything is fine. That is, the gear is there and I can pull down the shutdown/logout/reboot selection. It's a little weird in that the time did not show up until Network Time was turned off. So that's the 'gotten better' part. If I go back to 'ubuntu (default)' at login I no longer get the top status bar OR the menu bar. Both are gone completely. Also, I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to work or not. If my windows manager is ubuntu(default) and I let the screen time out so that I get the login screen if I select gnome to login it's still in the ubuntu(default) windows manager, which means no top status bar and no menu bar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

Every time I login, without fail, the top status bar is missing the gear icon for shutdown, the date, the sound icon and some others. The icons do show from the login window. So if I let the session time out so that the screen locks, I the gear icon appears in the top status bar and works. I have also added a new user to see if the issue has something to do with my account. The new user also has an empty top status bar. The issue happens for both dual monitor and single monitor configurations. When the second monitor is connected, setting launcher placement to "all displays" does not solve the problem. Neither does mirroring the displays. Everything worked just fine with 13.04. The problem appeared immediately following upgrade to 13.10. mark@mark-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1253693/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
