I can't seem to get any indicators on my new installation of Ubuntu, I'm on a laptop so seeing the battery is pretty important, along with it just being a nuisance.

I've tried installing the indicator applet and using dconf, but they're still not showing up.

In case this matters, I had quite a few problems installing this distro, one being the 'low graphics' error, so I had to switch from lightdm then use proprietary drivers after that. Don't know if it's relevant but it might help.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

First try to install ubuntu-tweak tool.

Then, reset the Unity with unity-reset tool:

$ unity-reset

$ setsid unity

If that didn't work out try to re-install unity & desktop:

$ sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop 

$ sudo apt-get autoremove unity 

$ sudo apt-get update 

$ sudo apt-get install unity

$ sudo apt-get install unity-2d 

$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop 

$ sudo shutdown -r now

After that upgrade if you want:

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
