Remove items from Ubuntu's indicator applet
This article is very old (more than 13 years) and likely outdated. Please be careful and take everything in here with a grain of salt.
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) features new panel applets called “indicator applets”. If you want to get rid of some of them, they can be removed by removing the corresponding package(s) using your favourite tool (Synaptic, aptitude, apt-get, …):
- indicator-me provides the menu with your avatar and your availability status
- indicator-messages provides the menu for email/Evolution, social networks/Gwibber etc.
- indicator-session provides the menu with the shutdown/logout button (if uninstalled, this functionality will be provided by the “System” menu)
- indicator-sound provides the sound/audio settings menu
For more information, have a look at the Launchpad page and the Ubuntu Wiki page for the indicator applets.
