Working temporary solution for 14.04.2 MATE is below. In brief: 1. install indicator stuff (libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, python-indicate, python-support). 2. get old packages from Ubuntu 12.04 (libindicator-messages-status-provider1, indicator-messages, indicator-messages-gtk2). 3. test with Popper (https://launchpad.net/~ralf.hersel/+archive/ubuntu/rhersel-ppa).
### for 14.04 MATE sudo apt-get install libindicate-gtk3 libindicate5 python-indicate python-support cd ~/Downloads wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/ralf.hersel/rhersel-ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/popper/popper_0.31.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i popper_0.31.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/indicator-messages/libindicator-messages-status-provider1_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i libindicator-messages-status-provider1_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/indicator-messages/indicator-messages_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i indicator-messages_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-gtk2_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i indicator-messages-gtk2_0.6.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb Go to Applications -> Internet -> Popper (or launch popper-config). Popper will work, check and indicate new e-mails as on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683516 Title: indicator-messages is not shown in mate-panel on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS MATE and 16.04 LTS MATE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-messages/+bug/1683516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
