I'm using Xubuntu 14.04, 64 bit

The output of xfce4-about is

xfce4-about-Message: No vendor information found in "/usr/share/xfce4/vendorinfo

However I believe I'm using 4.12 but...

Anyway, Everything was working fine, until I had an issue, and had to do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

Just to be sure that I'm using the latest version that comes with 14.04, and not the official version that comes with 13.10, I upgraded it

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

All is fine till today, the top panel is a mess, too many indicators

enter image description here

I can't remove the bluetooth indicator on the left. I can't move any indicator, if I remove any indicator from the panel, the whole panel will be gone.

I tried resetting xfce but does not seem to fix it.

The output of xfce4-panel is

  • I don't know what the hell was wrong with the indicator plugin, I stopped using it and used other plugins, some from xfce4-goodies, others from elsewhere. I can't really call it a fix, I didn't fix anything. but I'm fine without it. If you know how to fix the plugin, I'll accept your answer, if not, it's fine with me, I'm doing okay, after having spent 2 hours looking for alternatives

The xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 doesn't seem to contain any packages for Ubuntu 14.04 yet (see https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/xfce-4.12), so I'm unsure whether you managed to actually upgrade xfce to the latest version? What does xfce4-about return after the dist-upgrade? If not, maybe using the 4.12 package that are meant for older Ubuntu distro's doesn't work as intended?

  • On my system (with the default xfce4 that ships with ubuntu), xfce4-about reports xfce 4.10 as it also mentioned here: packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/xfce4.

  • @Fischer Although xfce4-about might not be the best source for the xfce4 version. This is the output of xfce4-about --version: xfce4-about 4.11.1 (Xfce 4.10). Other xfce4 components (e.g. panel, xfwm4) report a similar version.
