How to show time in Ubuntu 13.10 [duplicate]

  • 772

Just upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10.

Everything went fine but I don't see the time in the top right corner of the 'top bar' anymore. I tried to right click on it so I could get some options but nothings shows.

I'm sure it's obvious but I don't see it.

    Already solved here and here.
    From the terminal:

    sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
sudo killall unity-panel-service

    Then logout & login from the graphic session.
    If the clock is still hidden/grayed out:

    Time&Date panel --> Clock --> Show a clock in the menu bar

    If it still doesn't work report a bug on Launchpad.

  2. Go to Time & Date under System Settings, and after you click on it, click on the Clock tab, and make sure that there is a check mark in Show a clock in the menu bar. See image below.

    enter image description here

    Edit on behalf of @user221931 If the whole panel is grayed out, try (as mentioned already in another answer) the following commands in a terminal: 

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata && sudo killall unity-panel-service

  3. run sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center. If it is un-installed, install it. Then for date-time install the package indicator-datetime.
