I was having the opposite problem on 12.04 ... No power indicator applet (upon login -- saw one AT the login screen).
Running "gsettings list-recursively|grep settings-daemon" spat out that: org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active false ... In terminal, "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active true" ... logged out and back in and I was good. This was a fresh install from ISO of 12.04, so for those of you seeing *two* icons, you might want to set "....plugins.power active false" and see if one goes away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833397 Title: indicator power displayed twice on panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/833397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
