Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

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

My crash:
 [power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__OBJECTv()

has been marked as a duplicate to this one. I wasn't doing anyting with time and date.

The title of this bug:
[power]: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in engine_update_composite_device()
does show up in the ThreadStacktrace.txt while in g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__OBJECTv() didn't.

Anyway, pangolin continued to run so it wasn't a showstopper.

Thanks for your attention to these bugs.
