** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1210138 Installing ubuntu-desktop without recommends does not result in an usable minimal desktop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350537 Title: ubuntu-desktop is missing a few dependencies Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Starting from a command-line (non-GUI) Ubuntu installation, adding ubuntu-desktop is supposed to be enough. But it is missing some dependencies. In particular, the indicator-* packages (indicator- application, indicator-appmenu, indicator-datetime, indicator- messages, indicator-power, indicator-session, indicator-sound). Without indicator-session, for instance, the GUI has no means of shutting down or rebooting (save for the command-line). Without indicator-datetime, the control panel has no Date & Time applet. (I'm still trying to figure out if some apparently-related packages such as gnome-panel, libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, sni-qt or telepathy- indicator should be added or not.) I suspect network-manager-gnome should be added in order to get the network indicator (or maybe indicator-network instead?). The dash home is crippled unless the unity-lens-* packages are added (unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-music, unity- lens-video are the default set it seems). The apt-xapian-index package is required for Synaptic to have a usable Quick Filter. Finally, libgtk2-perl is something apt looks for repeatedly, and ought to be added as a dependency as well. Addendum: gnome-screensaver and libpam-gnome-keyring are also missing. Without them, the system menu's "Lock Screen" command does not work.
