Hi i think everything is in the titles.

I was at my parents and i have seen for the first time the progress bar.
I have never been able to see it with my config. I might miss some packages needed (unity)
or i might use the wrong theme.

What is needed to have the progress bar when you have a download displayed in the dock?

Hello,

Did you try this extension for Firefox? => https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/unityfox/
You should see this bar if you're using Nautilus, if you're using the default tool to create Ubuntu LiveUSB, etc. but I don't if there is a list somewhere.

well i am using pcmanfm and chromium (Lubuntu 12.04) it never displayed any progress bars.
The other pc is using older versions of pcmanfm and chromium (lubuntu 10.04) and the progress bar are correctly displayed. I am thinking there might be a dbus package or a gnome package missing somewhere.

For Chromium, it seems they directly read libunity (this is strange...) => https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=102792
(so I guess you have to install libunity9 package)

The apps are patched (by Ubuntu) so that they display a progress bar (during download, copy, etc)
So you need the patches / plug-ins / Ubuntu version of the programs
there is nothing else (no daemons or anything)

Weird i would have thought you would need an extra packages as none of my programs have showed any progress bar ever.

It looks like libunity9 is locating in /usr/lib/i386-packages/ while chromium looks in /usr/lib
and is looking for libunity.so.4 or 6

should i just copy the file and place it under /usr/lib/ ?

This issue is happening on Ubuntu Precise too, and the cause is the very same than on Oneiric: there's no "libunity.so.4" or "libunity.so.6", but "libunity.so.9" instead.

As a workaround for solving this, try running these commands as root on terminal (worked on my i386 Precise 12.04 installation):

$ cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s libunity.so.9.0.1 libunity.so.6

Reboot chromium and try downloading any file again.

most probably, but you can ask the devs to implement that (as a plug-in)
