Question: I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and it seems as though my clock is missing. I also don't see any options for date/time in the system settings panel.

Am I missing something? Again this is with Unity.

Answer: 
As per the comments above I've fixed this issue on my brand new 14.04 LTS installation by running.

```
$ pkill -f indicator-datetime-service

```

The clock came straight back.
This could be one of two things, either the clock isn't installed, or a setting has been flipped to turn it off.

First make sure the clock is installed by making sure indicator-datetime is installed:

Then log out and back in. If it's already installed and it's still not showing up, try the options here:

If that still doesn't work update your question with the results, thanks!
