Parental Control settings do not save or work

[Derek]

There is no apply button, and when I close the application after modifying settings, the settings are not applied nor saved.

Confirming this bug.

Looking around a bit, this appears to be because the pantheon-parental-controls-daemon was not running. I cannot find it in the systemctl service list.

I got it to work (with a few errors on the console) by running

    sudo /usr/bin/pantheon-parental-controls-daemon

in a terminal window.

You can confirm it working by inspecting the tail of the /etc/security/time.conf file.

Is this a bug in the plug, or some other component? This is quite embarrassing as it renders the feature completely broken; I'd like to see it fixed as soon as possible.

I'm running a fully updated install and this problem does not appear to be fixed. It only works when I run `sudo /usr/bin/pantheon-parental-controls-daemon` in the terminal before opening the panel and unlocking it.

@garbee I am experiencing the same issue. I am on a fully updated system. I may or may not have time to write a fix. (im not an eOS developer, just a hobbyist programmer)

This is still an issue in a fully updated system. The service file installed at /lib/systemd/system still has CMAKE variables in it preventing the service from starting.
