I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and it seems as though my clock is missing. I also don't see any options for date/time in the system settings panel.
Am I missing something? Again this is with Unity.
As per the comments above I've fixed this issue on my brand new 14.04 LTS installation by running.
$ pkill -f indicator-datetime-service
The clock came straight back.
Open a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T), then run the following:
killall unity-panel-service
This command should reset the panel, and hopefully reactivate the clock indicator.
~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_aliases
. alias restart-clock="killall unity-panel-service"
This could be one of two things, either the clock isn't installed, or a setting has been flipped to turn it off.
First make sure the clock is installed by making sure indicator-datetime is installed:
Then log out and back in. If it's already installed and it's still not showing up, try the options here:
If that still doesn't work update your question with the results, thanks!
Worked for me:
sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
sudo killall unity-panel-service

killall unity-panel-service
was enough to bring the clock back.

pkill -f indicator-datetime
and it instantly worked again!
