I am using Ubutnu 14.04 (LTS) and have following indicators: enter image description here

Now from above indicators (like: Bluetooth, Classic-Menu, Indicator-synapse, Network, Laungage, Message, Sound , datetime or calendar and last power/setting management).

I want to start/stop or hide/display some of them.

Ex (I only know for one): I know that NetworkManager can be displayed with nm-applet and can be started/stopped by sudo service network-manager. (classic-menu and synapse are user indicator)

Thus I want to know how other indicators (ex: for language, message, datetime and specially last indicator) can be displayed and hide or started and stopped?

What command or applet can I use?

This is how to hide/show some of them:

  • Sound

    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible false
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true

    or

    dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/sound/visible false
dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/sound/visible true

  • Keyboard Layout

    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.keyboard visible false
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.keyboard visible true

    or

    dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/keyboard/visible false
dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/keyboard/visible true

  • Time

    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-clock false
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-clock true

    or 

    dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/show-clock false
dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/show-clock true

  • Bluetooth

    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.bluetooth visible false
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.bluetooth visible true

    or

    dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/bluetooth/visible false
dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/bluetooth/visible true

  • Power

    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power icon-policy 'never'
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power icon-policy 'present'

    or

You can uninstall the individual indicator packages entirely using Synaptic Package Manager, or blacklist the indicator icons using Gconf-editor.

Messages: Remove package indicator-messages
Sound: Remove package indicator-sound
**Power: Remove package indicator-power

Date/Time: Simply enable/disable from System Settings...Time & Date and in the Clock tab unchecked Show a clock in the menu option

volume: Remove package indicator-sound

Power/Battery: Remove package indicator-power. The battery indicator also is configurable in the power management settings.

Language: Simple enable/disable from System Settings...Text Entry and unchecked Show current input source in the menu bar option

Netwok: Look this answer

Bluetooth: Do this steps

  1. cd ~/.config/autostart
  2. cp /etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet* .
  3. echo "Hidden=true" | tee -a bluetooth-applet*

And the indicator with your username and session management is called indicator-session

Note: Removing these default indicators is NOT recommended.

Search for 'indicator' in Synaptic to see more of them.
