indicator-datetime-session has 100% cpu use with geoclue-geonames

[Michael Vogt]

I had geoclue-geonames installed and not geoclue-ubuntu-geoip. I don't know why, probably happend at a random point during the quantal dist-upgrades. This caused indicator datetime to spinn 100% cpu.

Same kind of issue as bug 919364 (and upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40882 ), a bunch of the geoclue backends error out, either because the service was discontinued (in yahoo's case), or they just haven't updated the backend for changes to the service. Unfortunately the upstream bugs are marked 'won't fix'.

Though it would be nice if indicator-datetime gave up after a number of errors instead of spinning on it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the development release - Trusty Tahr. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
