recently it happened with 15.10 usb install with persistent storage that the panel lost logout, restart. i booted then without casper-rw, i.e. removing the persistent flag to compare where the buttons are available (see here for boot options: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install /ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html ) . then i used dconf dump / > dump.conf both times and compared the two files. the difference is:
+[apps/indicator-session] +suppress-logout-menuitem=true +suppress-restart-menuitem=true +suppress-shutdown-menuitem=true +suppress-logout-restart-shutdown=true i am still wondering what triggers ubuntu to make these settings without me wanting it to do it. -- 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
