This app seems to crash regularly. After the app restarts, it displays fine and tells time like it should. It does not appear to crash while system is up, only on start up and reboot.

[Jake McGregor (jake-mcgregor86)]

This definitely happens every start up or reboot.

[Antonio Carlos Santos Galvão (ancasaga)]

The clock and date indicator on the top panel disappears. only be restored with the command: dconf reset-f / org / compiz / and unity - reset-icons. whenever you restart the notebook.

[Antonio Carlos Santos Galvão (ancasaga)]

The index of date and time vanished panel.
Usually happens when I restart the notebook.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

Happens after restarting...

[Andrew S. Sawyer (assawyer)]

I had this happen after waking my computer, unplugging the ethernet cable (no WiFi was turned on) and unplugging the power cable. Not sure what specifically caused it this time but I've noticed it happens a lot.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Hey Charles, could you have a look to that one? It seems a frequent issue in saucy. Thanks!

[Ian Nicholson (imnichol)]

Occured for me when I was adding additional locations to display the time for.

Same here, the only info I can provide is from syslog:

Is it too early in the development cycle to expect to be able to execute an installation without experiencing errors?

How can a Beta be released in a few days when I get this error at the beginning of a USB install of the amd 64-bit desktop timestamped 2013-09-02 08:17?

1. I could NOT get the CD creator in 13.04 to complete without throwing an error, so I used 12.04.3 to reformat the usb and change it into a bootable device using the iso mentioned above.

2. Booted

3. Selected install Ubuntu

3. Checked the two boxes then OK

4. Waited a short while was greeted with this message

[Ernie 07 (ernestboyd)]

Missed a step in the prior post, setting the timezone to usa Los Angeles

This time:

1. Booted USB

2. Set timezone

3. Selected Install Unbuntu

4. ERROR

[Anmar Oueja (anmar)]

Just in case this helps. I am experiencing this error everytime I am booting my thinkpad.

Fix committed into lp:indicator-datetime at revision 249, scheduled for release in indicator-datetime, milestone Unknown

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-datetime - 13.10.0+13.10.20130913-0ubuntu1

---------------
indicator-datetime (13.10.0+13.10.20130913-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  [ Charles Kerr ]
  * Make the EDS planner nonblocking. (LP: #1204532)
  * Minor changes that eliminate unnecessary temporary strings.
  * This change adds a GSettings* arg to the utils functions so that
    they don't have to churn through temporary GSettings objects. These
    functions are usually called in a loop, causing a lot of GSettings
    temporaries, even though the calling code already has an instance
    for that GSettings schema.
  * name says it all; this branch is for improving indicator-datetime
    test coverage.
  * Remove code duplication between timezone-file and timezone-geoclue.
  * Adds a title in the header's action state. (LP: #1223635)

  [ Ted Gould ]
  * Fix GeoClue signal handler to have proper prototype. (LP: #1195874)
  * Protect against invalid begin or end dates. (LP: #1216263)
