GNOME shutdown icon gone?

I've lost my GNOME shutdown icon. Yeah I know what you're thinking, I've accidently remoted the applet from my panel. Well, I haven't. After a kernel upgrade a while back, it went all greyed out, like any option that's there but you can't click. So in an effort to restore its functionality, I removed it. Lo and behold, in the Add to Panel dialogue, the shutdown applet isn't there.
Any ideas?

Hey guess what everyone!
I am now using GDM again but my shutdown icon is still greyed-out and unusable.
Case in point:
gnome-power-manager is running also.

[Gnome] Shutdown applet and logout applet inconsistent behaviour?

I don't know when or why but sometimes
the dialogs of the shutdown applet and the logout applet
look completely different
When I first log-in into X/Gnome the shutdown dialog of the shutdown applet looks like
but then after a while it turns out to be like
I dunno if it's because logged out of X and logged-in before. Anyway shouldn't the dialog look the same all the time?
The same thing happens to the logout dialog of the logout applet
Anyone with some insight why this happens?
Thank you.

Gnome desktop icons dissappear

the gnome desktop icons, terminal,trash,computer etc. dissappear from the desktop ?
how do i get them back without exiting the session and logging back in ?

it appears the problem is occuring after the session had been idle for a period of time > 3 hours... the icons disappear but the terminal sessions are still available... this is the error information:

Why is my iTunes icon gone from my phone?

Why is my Itunes icon gone from my phone. I don't have it anymore.

Check: Settings - General - Restrictions - iTunes = ???

HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer Help screen

Favorites icon gone from Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 Help Center screen
How do I get it back?
In Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 I clicked
Help->Table of Contents
to bring ut the Help Center window.
It the Help Center window I used to have a Favorites tab next
to the Contents TAB on the left side of the window.
I did an unpin some how and now I can't get the Favorites
TAB back.
On the right side there is a Star + icon that does
Add to Favorites.
I can add links to favorites but I have no way to go to these
saved favorites anymore.
How do I get the Favorites TAB/Icon back?
Thanks

Hi John,
SQL Developer depends on JDeveloper code for the Help. After closing the Favorites tab I see no way to re-open it in the UI, so I imagine there may be a bug on the JDev side. Fortunately, there is a manual fix:
In file product-preferences.xml
In directory C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\SQL Developer\system3.0.04.34\o.sqldeveloper.11.1.2.4.34
use Notepad to look for the lines like:
<value n="helpDynamicLinksNavigatorLocation" v="3"/>
<value n="helpFavoritesNavigatorLocation" v="0"/>
Just change the value "0" to "2"Regards,
Gary

I dug up an old applet I had written for Cinnamon (based on another applet by Tjaart van der Walt), and upgraded it to work with Gnome 3.12
For some reason, I am not able to submit it to the AUR.

Gnome - Disabling gnome-menu icons

Hi all,
Seems that this is an old subject, as I've read throughout several posts on the net.
I want to disable the gnome-menu icons, completely, keeping the menus like the System one, which, by default, has no icons (what's the logic of that, btw?)
Gconf-editor has an option to enable/disable ONLY the icons under System (again, what is the logic?)
gconf-editor >desktop>interface>menus_have_icons
Seems that previous versions of Gnome allowed for the hiding/disabiling of all icons on the gnome-menu, which was nice behaviour - letting the user decide if they should show up or not.
Question: Is there a way to disable the icons?
Regards,
-aurocha

i don't see anything wrong with that image. that's how the apps should look from know own since its using the new menu thingy from gnome-shell.

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone
So I upgrade and uploaded/matched all my songs to iTunes Match. Everything seems to be fine, except I noticed I don't have the genius functionality on my iPhone. Basically the little atom icon is missing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Thanks
Chike

This is what works for me.
I do this once: I keep quite a bit of music loaded on my iPhone using the normal sync process with my Mac (via USB cable) prior to turning on iTunes Match (...let's me listen to at least some music even when disconnected from the net, like when on a plane). And then I turn iTunes Match back on (and leave it turned on) and it gives me access to the rest of my music library from iCloud when I have network access (3G or Wifi) for normal listening using my whole library over Match.
I start playing a song on my iPhone (one that doesn't have the iCloud icon)
I click the home button (physical button on iPhone that closes the Music app)
I then double click the home button (opens the task manager at the bottom)
Quit Music (press/hold on the Music icon in the tray until the little red circle with an x appears to quit the app)
Then restart Music (tap the Music icon on my iPhone home screeen)
When the Music app restarts, it opens to the last song playing. if it was one of the songs downloded to my iPhone, it has the litlle atomic symbol again and I can create a genius playlist from it.
FYI: you can enable/disable iTunes Match on the iPhone without affecting songs loaded on your iPhone (even though it says it'll replace your iPhone library, the songs are still there if you enable/disable again). Settings>>>Music>>>iTunes Match on/off.

GNOME-Colors icons and Mozilla apps?

Let me just start by saying how much I love Arch right now...I fled from Ubuntu after it fell apart with terrible glitches and bad performance. Arch is the best distro I've ever used.
The mozilla icons included in gnome are incredibly ugly, especially when using Gnome Do, where the icons are zoomed in. I installed the gnome-brave icon set from GNOME-Colors, as well as the extras icon pack. However, the mozilla icons are still the old, low resolution icons.
How can I properly replace the icons?
UPDATE: hm it seems that it's just gnome do that isn't changing it's icons in relation to gnome colors extras

Login Icon and shutdown icon not appearing on login screen

I don't know if it is just coincidence but I have had two instances where the login icon and the shutdown icon are not appearing on the login screen and the login screen is not "live" after I had installed an HP officejet 8600 printer on my W700ds to run through the network and another computer last night. The first time it happened last night I wasn't sure what to do so I held the power button until shutdown and when it rebooted and the RAID1 had to verify. This morning when it happened again I was a little fresher and put it into hibernation - Fn-F12 - and when I woke it it acted normally. I have just had a new mainboard installed on 1/15/2013 and a new processor installed on 1/22/2013 to cure other problems and have used it at least one full day after rebuilding without a problem before this started.

Hi, Geophyte1
I did some research and found this document from Microsoft that might shed some light on your issue. According to Microsoft, this error is normally the result of graphics issues, but can also stem from RAM issues. There are two methods posted by Naman R, a moderator, that may be able to help you.
Best of luck. Let me know how it goes,

Help! Desktop icons gone, no right click ... and Nautilus crashes!

I have a fully upgraded Gnome-based system, and all of a sudden my desktop icons disappeared, clicking on the desktop does nothing, and every time I use Nautilus it crashes with the error (from bug report):

It doesn't seem to be an options or configuration thing, maybe more like some sort of corruption? The Panels are fine. I have checked desktop and Nautilus options using Gconf and tried recreating ~/.gconf etc. The only suspicious occurrence was when, in the middle of a pacman -Syu, I was thrown back to the GDM login prompt. I just logged in again and did another pacman -Syu and everything seemed okay.
By the way, running Nautilus as root does show root's desktop okay, but Nautilus still crashes.
Any help would be most welcome for a very frustrating problem!
PS: Forgot to say that I'd tried reinstalling quite a few Gnome things and Nautilus, with no effect.
Also, the problem persists after restarting X, logon, reboot, power-off ...

Uh-oh, seems like this problem could go wider than I thought. There's a fairly lengthy thread on the Ubuntu forums which smells the same, for example:

Re: Desktop icons disappear
Got it! I can get a crash with this:
Code:
mkdir ~/test
cp /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop ~/test/
nautilus ~/test
I'm going to leave a comment in the bug.
And in fact, I was mucking around with .desktop files when I think my icons went AWOL.
Anyone else brave enough to risk losing their desktop to try this out?!

Gnome battery icon and 'Could not change DPMS mode'

Ok, I reinstalled gdm, added my user to the video group and so far it seems to be working properly, so thank you very much.
Now I just need to see if it will stick that way, since it seems to come and go somewhat randomly.
And btw, I use the presentation mode shell extension, but disabling it did not have any effect.
EDIT:
Ok, it seems the source of the problem was this little addon to /etc/gdm/Init/Default, that I used to launch synergy in GDM:
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
while [ $(pgrep -x synergyc) ]; do sleep 0.1; done
/usr/bin/synergyc 192.168.0.2
Since synergy controls the display power state, it would add up.

Gnome applet Icons Missing

I installed a fresh arch linux on another pc. I installed gnome and gnome-extras. There is one problem:
The icons on the "system tray" are missing. The applets are there but the icons are not shown:
I already rebuilt the hicolor and gnome icons (and re-logged) with no result. Am I missing something?

Ok here is something weird I found out.
I am using xorg without xorg.conf. Since I have a Voodoo3 card I installed the xf86-video-tdfx driver. After a xorg restart the icons are working but the mouse flickers when I move it and there are graphic bugs when restoring windows.
So I removed the tdfx driver and reverted to the vesa driver. The mouse does not flicker anymore but the applet icons are gone.

Gnome Shutdown

In Gnome by default there are 2 icons, one to logout and the other to shutdown. In Ubuntu and Fedora they have both of these merged into 1. This one icon pops up a dialog box with: shutdown, reboot, switch user, logout, etc. How do I enable this in Arch?

It actually adds lots to the desktop. It makes it easier.
That's open for debate. However, it was wrong of me to say it adds _nothing_ to the desktop...
I'm afraid the simplest solution is to tell her to hit button nr 2, instead of the usual one. That can't be too much to ask of her, right?
I'll do that. I was only hoping that there was some easy switch somewhere in the config that would enable the other view. Well, at least I tried.
