I updgraded my ubuntu to 12.04 LTS and then installed gnome classic since I do not like unity. But then the volume icon at the up-right corner has disappeared. How can I get it back to that place. Thanks for any help.

It is the first time I see a message, like the one below, saying that this question is "protected by the community"! Wow! Therefore, I would like to take the opportunity to ask what does that mean? What does the protection consists in?, and why are not all questions protected?– Robert VilaNov 10, 2012 at 0:58

from your screenshot, it looks like you have removed the indicator applet complete
applet
Alt+Win+ right click the panel to add the applet. You can similarly remove the other gnome-applets.
If the applet doesnt appear in your list, install the applet from software-center:
or via the command line:
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete

ALT+Win+Right Click? Why did they change this from a simple right click or made it something easy like CTRL+Right Click. I was under the impression that "Add to Panel" was gone for good. May 3, 2012 at 11:54

Its a combination of upstream changes from the gnome-devs and compiz changes I believe.– fossfreedom ♦May 3, 2012 at 12:02

Sorry but this is a bad advice. While it has everything, it doesn't work with another panel applets (for example notification area applet).– BЈовићMay 4, 2012 at 19:28

@VJovic - the ubuntu indicator applet (from 11.10 I think) effectively replaced the notification applet. If you have an app that requires the old notification applet, you need to use the white-list capability of the indicator applet.– fossfreedom ♦May 4, 2012 at 19:31
I had this problem too. Run gnome-sound-applet from the command line to check that it is installed and working.
To start the sound applet automatically, go to System Tools>Preferences>Startup Applications and add Command gnome-sound-applet
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-complete
sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
than refer to the following figure to make visible the applets that you need.
Alt+Win+ right click the panel to add an applet.
There are two kinds of indicator applets. I dont know the exact translation, but there is a standard and a full version. Try the full version.

I did checked on that but I think I have only one indicator applet which says "Indicator applet complete". Apr 30, 2012 at 13:50
