Indicator 3 Crashes on Lock

I found a little bug where the Indicator 3 applet will disappear when the machine is locked, opening up the awn preferences shows that indicator is there, but i have to disable and re-enable indicator to work.
In case it's any help to you,
Memory: 7.7 Gb
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz × 4
Graphics driver: Gallium 0.4 on NVD9 (Only because i have been unsuccessful in installing Nvidia drivers, but that's another story.)
OS Type: 64-bit
And disk, 190.5 Gb (Of 200 Gb)

P.S Aside from a couple little quirks like this, i'm really enjoying having finally jumped-ship from Windows 8.1
P.P.S Your search bar is quite strict, the filtering is pretty counter-productive

Hi, I have been wanting to get rid of this, and now I have! I don't know if it is down to the fact that AWN is under new project development, but I now have my digital clock and calendar back, audio manager, and notification area!

well there you go!
I was wondering if there is some sort of update that could correct this, Or if there is some way i could write a bash or other auto executing script that disables, then re-enables it?

Right-clck the AWN Panel, and select 'Dock Preferences' - go to 'Applets' tab and if you look at the 'replicant' panel at the bottom of that tab (it replicates your panel layout) indicator 3 applet is a blue circle with an 'i' in it. Highlight it then click on the 'up' arrow above the replicant panel to remove. I had some 'backport' /repo issues that I managed to rectify, did some upgrading and then from synaptic, searched for 'clock' and lo and behold got the digital clock back with calendar! Yay! So when you have synaptic open just do a search for 'awn' and see what applets come back at you! (To get to synaptic, just type it in the Win7 type search bar in the menu - you will need to authenticate with your logon to get it to run!

Will do this once... erm you know I can see again XD

With you on that one!

My indicator 3 applet is almost always white when I boot into Zorin 8 (in a virtualbox vm). I go into preferences, remove it and readd it and it usually fixes it until next boot. Does it have to do with Virtualbox's flaky 3D acceleration support ?

I ran the Synaptic package manager and it shows I don't have some appmenu package and another one for Banshee support. I'm not missing any updates am I ?

No you are not missing anything, but you could do with missing indicator-3 applet - it is totally non-changeable - whit it is, and white it shall always be - that is why I now have this (at long last! ):

Is that another applet to use in place of Indicator 3 ? How is it called ?

(The color isn't the problem, it's that it doesn't load properly and shows white.)

Hi, I will try and take a screenshot of my synaptic with avant in the search box so you can see what I have installed.

Easier yet, open synaptic and search for 'awn-applet' - check mark the ones you want and they will show up here:



then just remove indicator-applet-3 - it's been a pain since the release of Zorin - I don't know why they continue with it!

I know how to remove it, but I then I need to replace it with something else that shows those Ubuntu notifications,network settings, language selection, volume control, logout, clock ....

I have all the applets that Synaptic shows me. In the AWN applets preferences I counted 31 applets.

Recap: Indicator 3 is awesome, but sometimes at boot it doesn't load properly and stays white with no icons.

Hi,

please see the post install guide and this section:
