XFCE Indicator Applet Completely Messed Up

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3023 / 1 Year ago, thu, march 23, 2023, 6:02:35

I recently had to reinstall Xubuntu 14.04 after Windows wiped it out. After a mildly painful (mostly caused by the installer seeming a lot more confused than usual) installation process, I was up and running. Everything was doing just fine until I rebooted my computer. Now, my indicator applet looks like this:

enter image description here

I didn't change anything before this happened, other than install a few pieces of unrelated software (Chrome, Skype, Kdenlive, Komodo Edit and Hotot). I've had problems with the indicator applet before, but never to this extreme. Anyone have any advice?

Note: I've seen this question, but the answer did not help me.

Looks like you got some ubuntu packages in there... try removing or disabling indicator-datetime and indicator-keyboard, and restarting your session.

(Option 1) Disabling the indicators:

Right click on the Indicator applet

Select "Properties"

Click the "Hidden" checkboxes for any unwanted/unknown indicators.

(Option 2) Removing the packages:

sudo apt-get remove indicator-datetime indicator-keyboard

Then log out and back in. Let me know if this helps.
