How to get the time back in the systray? I had it in the middle of the toolbar at the top of classic 11.04 but upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it is gone. I have set whitelist to "all" already.

If you're running Unity, not Gnome Shell, my guess is that indicator-datetime isn't running. Try running /usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service from a terminal window. Hopefully that'll fix things. If not, please edit your question to include the exact error message(s) you received.

To launch a terminal, hit Ctrl+Alt+T. You can also type this command to get a list of indicators that are currently running:

ps -ef | grep [i]ndicator

I did a little cleaning with synaptic (oops) and I lost my clock/calendar and do not how to get it back. I ran /usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service but it just came back as: bash: /usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service: No such file or directory know what I need to install to get it back?

@Dustin: You can find which package is responsible for a file via dpkg --search filename. In this case, ensure that indicator-datetime is installed. – Scott Severance Feb 24 at 21:19
