When I log in to my session, the indicator-sync-service is well running. Yet there is no icon in top panel.

indicator-sync-service

Sync and upload notifications appear normally and Ubuntu one client is functioning correctly. I have several other indicators in my panel but I don't see any probability that one of them is conflicting with ubuntu one indicator.

    You will need to install the indicator-sync package as well. You may need to log out and back in after doing so, for the icon to appear in the top panel.

    If you have not set up Ubuntu One yet, though, it will not appear. You will need to configure Ubuntu One to connect, and then the icon should appear after the client starts. It may take some time after you log in for it to appear, as the client is configured on a delayed start to avoid slowing down log-in.

    The gir1.2-syncmenu-0.1 package is also required to be installed for the functionality to work. It is installed by default on Ubuntu 12.10, but is only recommended by ubuntuone-client so that it may be uninstalled by users who do not want the indicator. If you've managed to uninstall this package, you will need to re-install it, and then restart the Ubuntu One client.

  2. This is not a direct answer to your question, but rather an alternative. You can also install the app called "Ubuntu One Indicator".

    Type the following commands in the terminal to do so:

    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-ubuntuone

  3. From terminal, type:

    ubuntuone-installer

    The above command aims to installer Ubuntu One Service. After finishing, you type your ubuntu one account to synchronize your files with server.

  4. In Ubuntu 13.04, you can add following command to startup applications:

    /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon

    Solution:

    1. Open Startup Applications
    2. Click Add
    3. Enter Name: Ubuntu One, Command: /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ubuntuone-client/ubuntuone-syncdaemon, Comment: Ubuntu One
    4. Click Save
    5. Close Startup Applications, Logout and Login
    6. You should see cloudy indicator in the right corner :)
