Same here, upgraded from BB as soon as CC became available on a test system, never had the pleasure to see the indicators, which were working fine on the previous version. Cheers, Luca

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi,

in Debian, we are switching to Ayatana Indicators and m-i-a had already been built against libayatana-indicator3. Afaik, Martin Wimpress plans to ship a mate-indicator-applet in Ubuntu that still continues to use Ubuntu Indicators ( at least in CC).

You could try installing the ayatana-indicator-* packages, that should soothe some of your woes...

This is also happening when updating from Ubuntu Mate 20.04 to 20.10, confirmed in two machines.

It happened to me as well after updating to 21.04 directly from 20.04.
