Unity Panel (Unity is new interface for Ubuntu 11.04 with new top panel) doesn't support applets for GNOME Panel.

You can use Hamster Indicator (package hamster-indicator) from Alberto Milone's PPA repository

ppa:albertomilone/hamster-indicator

More information here:

There is a lot of indicators, many of them have same funtionality as applets for GNOME Panel in ubuntu 10.10 and older.

List of indicators -- What Application Indicators are available?

If you want to add a indicator to the Unity Panel, you have to install it and then run as a normal applications (from menu or via terminal), you can't add it using right click on panel.

  • When I follow the above instructions I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: hamster-indicator : Depends: hamster-applet but it is not going to be installed So I guess I should install hamster-applet? – Kemeia Jun 14 '19 at 18:44

Good news: Hamster-indicator is coming to Precise, so you won't need to use the PPA. Thanks to Alberto, bojo42, and Jamie!
