Solution 1

The solution for me was to install that specific package that was missing:

sudo apt-get install unity-control-center-signon gnome-control-center-unity

Solution 2

Try to reinstall gnome-control-center using the following command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center

I was installing some apps and icons then I noticed that there were about 4 games installed, so I went to the Software Centre to remove them. Then I wanted to add my Facebook account to Online Accounts but Alas! It was disappeared. But it was there when I searched for Online Accounts in the Unity Dash.

Please help me. I think I might have uninstalled the wrong packages. Can anyone tell me the packages that are associated with them?

Below are screenshots of my settings window and the Online Accounts icon in the Unity Dash.

  The same issue I also have on my Ubuntu 13.10 after an upgrade.

  What's happen if you run this command in terminal: gnome-control-center credentials?

  It seems that this issue is only in Unity, because in Gnome-Shell (Gnome 3.8) it's OK.

That's exactly the same with sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center.

ubuntu-desktop?!? That's gnome-control-center for sure.

@RaduRădeanu so what if it is (please elaborate)? It is possible the ubuntu-desktop package was uninstalled and this would fix it.

@RaduRădeanu but this answer is a purge of gnome control center, not just a normal reinstall.

If ubuntu-desktop would have been removed, those images from the question would have looked completely different. You can try if you are curious. See also apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/ubuntu-desktop

installing unity-control-center-signon did the trick for me. I wasn't able to see online accounts in the search as well as the settings menu.

Of the two, "unity-control-center" is best given the specific problem originally raised. "gnome-control-center" less comprehensive, but still helpful for other needs.
