I’m sorry, my PPA was never fit for use on Karmic. I forgot about other applications that depend on older versions of a library I pushed a newer version of to the PPA.
If you want to try out Indicator Application you need ppa:indicator-applet-developers/indicator-core-ppa instead.

I would recommend you to try to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package and the indicator-session applet first.

I have tried and installed the indicator-app from your ppa but KArmic wants in uninstall ubuntu-desktop.
I have let it do this, but then when I logoff and log back in my indicator-session is missing.

Am i missing something here.

THanks

I’m afraid I can’t. You’ll have to install the newer indicators from that PPA as well if you want to keep them.

That PPA also has these dependencies issues so if you can solve them, it would be great!

Oops, mistake from my side. I didn’t know about that PPA and I forgot about the dependencies of the rest of the Indicator family.

I can’t seem to install it in Karmic unless I remove indicator-applet, indicator-applet-session, indicator-messages and indicator-session, due to dependency issues: those packages depend on libdbusmenu-glib0 and libdbusmenu-gtk0 while indicator-application depends on libdbusmenu-glib1 and libdbusmenu-gtk1

Also, there was already a PPA for this: https://launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/+archive/indicator-core-ppa/
