Get the Skype status icon back on Ubuntu Panel

How to get Skype status icon back on Ubuntu Panel or Tray

In 64bit of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version, skype status icon doesn't appear on the panel automatically.

If you wish to add the status icon on Ubuntu Panel just type the following commands in sequence.


gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist 

['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier'] 

['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Skype'] 

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist 

"['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Skype']" 

sudo reboot

Thats all. When your PC rebooted, you'll find the status icon of Skype on your Ubuntu Panel.

Enjoy! ;)
