To re-enable the username on Unity panel, in terminal:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session show-real-name-on-panel true
To disable, simply change true
to false
:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session show-real-name-on-panel false
Note: You must reboot for these changes to take effect.
show-real-name-on-panel
boolean key should definitely work in defining the state of your username in the panel. Please give the commands a try in your terminal, and be sure to reboot. Get back to me! :)
This happened to me once-- Try this command in Terminal:
sudo apt-get install indicator-session
What may have happened is that the package was deleted. Like I said, it happened once to me, so thiS MAY (I can't stress that word enough) work for you. :)
