I have never had auto login enabled and have had this problem since upgrading to 13.10. It's still there in 14.04 100% of the time. The workaround I have been using is to open a terminal window and enter the following command:
/usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service& I was really disappointed that upgrading to 14.04 didn't fix the issue. I have created test user accounts and found that every user experiences the problem. Also, the icons are present in the login screen. Another workaround is to use something other than Unity. Gnome works just fine. -- 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
