I receive this error when I install the software.

Basically I want to know which space am I working on.

$sudo apt-get install indicator-workspaces
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package indicator-workspaces is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'indicator-workspaces' has no installation candidate

As far as I know, indicator-workspaces isn't necessary anymore, in 13.04, because the standard workspace switcher icon shows which workspace you're in, however, you have to enable the workspace switcher in the first place.

    That PPA has packages for Lucic, Maverick, Natty and Oneiric but not for Raring (13.04). In addition, packages from a PPa shouldn't be installed with direct download as you wouldn't get any updates for them.
