Bug Description

Clean install of natty in virtualbox (win vista host).

Upgraded to Oneiric. When I restarted I landed in Unity-2d (since I don't have 3d in virtualbox). However, the panel contains only network manager - no session, no time, no calendar, nothing. Makes it very hard to log out, etc.

This might be a libindicator bug, but not sure so I'm filing it against unity-2d for now.

thanks for your report.

This is because gtk2 version of the indicator are not installed.
The workaround is to install them:
$ sudo apt-get install indicator.*gtk2

Thanks for the quick response. I can verify that installing those packages does fix the problem after a reboot.

---------------
unity-2d (3.8.10-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Florian Boucault ]
  * debian/unity-2d-launcher.install:
    - do not install launcher/launchermenu.css anylonger as its now shipped as
      part as libunity-2d-private-qml.so using the Qt resource system
  * debian/libunity-2d-private0:
    - move symbolic link to /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png from
      /usr/share/unity-2d/places/artwork to /usr/share/unity-2d
  * debian/control:
    - add pkg-config as a build dependency

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * New upstream release:
    - FTBFS due to erroneous check on libwnck (LP: #800550)
    - [dash] Search is slow and freezes (LP: #774569)
    - Some community lenses do not display anything - UnityHorizontalRenderer
      not implemented (LP: #790319)
    - [underthehood] the ListAggregatorModel class is not unit tested
      (LP: #794482)
    - Missing a GConf schema file for the /desktop/unity-2d/… keys
      (LP: #750303)
    - [dash] home screen search hint should be 'Search' (LP: #797825)
  * debian/unity-2d.gconf-defaults,
    debian/20_ubuntu-2d-gconf-default:
    - transition some gconf keys from session-wide to system-wide
      (LP: #797672, #797676)
  * debian/control:
    - ensure we are still using gtk2 indicator for alpha2 (LP: #804938)
    - bump standards-version
