I am using indicator-keylock on Xubuntu 18.04 (both on my desktop and laptop). I accidentally hid the icon and now I can't find a way to bring it back. The pop up notifications still work, but I'd like to have a persistent icon so I can check 'numlock' without toggling the key.

I've tried removing the program (apt remove,apt purge,apt autoremove, etc), but after re-installing, the same behavior persists. Is a configuration file that can be changed? If so, where is it (typically) located?

I was having the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.3 and I found this:

After a couple hours looking for some config file or something, I looked on this thread. Edit: So indicator-keylock config files could be somewhere there, but you can't go and open them. To do this easily, you want to install dconf-editor

Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type sudo apt install dconf-editor Then open it (you can do this from the installed apps menu) and go to /apps/indicators/keylock and select every option (at least this is what I did)

Reboot your system and the icon will be again in the top menu.

English is not my mother tongue so I hope you can understand it!
