I also have received this error. No applets have loaded in the panel, and I have a bunch of messages such as the following:
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_NotificationAreaApplet". In addition, when I try to reinstall the 'indicator-applet' program (as some have indicated might resolve the issue), I get the following error: Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/gconf-schemas", line 7, in <module> from optparse import OptionParser File "/usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py", line 77, in <module> from gettext import gettext File "/usr/lib/python2.6/gettext.py", line 49, in <module> import locale, copy, os, re, struct, sys EOFError: EOF read where object expected dpkg: error processing indicator-applet (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: indicator-applet E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -Ray -- OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatorApplet error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
