Many address-provider-changed events per minute, maxing CPU

[Adam Oren]

With the help of Trism in #ubuntu+1, I did the following to obtain this information:

Made /usr/share/dbus-1/services/indicator-datetime.service look like:

[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.canonical.indicator.datetime
#Exec=/usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service
Exec=/bin/bash -c '/usr/lib/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service &> /tmp/indicator-datetime-$(date +%H%M%S).log'

The resultant file hit 1MB not a minute after boot. It contains line after line of the following:

Indicator-Datetime-WARNING **: Address provider changed. Let's change

Indicator-Datetime-WARNING **: Unable to get Geoclue address: Geoclue master client has no usable Address providers

The same result happened even with "Set the time" set to "Manually."

I am using Geoclue version 0.12.0-1ubuntu11, as well as indicator-datetime version 0.3.1-0ubuntu3 on Ubuntu 12.04.

$ sudo apt-get install geoclue-ubuntu-geoip

and

$ sudo apt-get remove geoclue-yahoo

suggested on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/907012/comments/9 fixed this or a very similar issue.

I believe this report is a duplicate of bug 907012.
