Wingpanel Crashes when clicking on the date

[KJ Lawrence]

This happens -everytime- I click the date. I think it happened once I synced up the Calendar with my gmail account, but its been so long now I've honestly forgotten.

Hi KJ,

Could you do the following to get some more information on the crash?

1. Install debugging symbols, run: sudo apt install wingpanel-dbg wingpanel-indicator-datetime-dbg
2. Run wingpanel under gdb, with: gdb wingpanel
3. At the gdb prompt, type "run" and hit enter
4. Cause the crash by clicking the date
5. Go to your console, and at the gdb prompt type "thread apply all bt"
6. Paste the output of the previous command into a comment here

I know that's a lot of steps, but it will help!

If you could also provide information like what timezone you are using, localization settings, etc., that might be helpful too.

Cerbere kind of fights running wingpanel independently so I had to mess around before I could get this... Hopefully it's what you're looking for.

For computer setup:
Timezone: EST
Locale: EN-US
Showing AM/PM

I've tried restoring the system default settings through the About plugin as well.

Ok, you got the right information, thanks!

It looks like it's crashing when calculating events that have month recurrences because it may be getting bad data. Do you know if you have any monthly recurring events on your calendar and if so could you provide how the event has been configured? (start data, end date, day of week, how frequent the recurrence, etc.)

If you can export your calendar into ICal format that's even better, but I would guess it has private details that you'd rather not share :) I suppose, if you're willing, you could export the ICal file and then open it in a text editor and remove the private details before attaching it here.

Here you go. Nothing too crazy on it. At one point I set up all of these reoccurring events to try to keep the house clean... didn't work, haha. Never removed them though. They wreaked havoc on Maya - would crash on load every time. I actually did a code change to fix it which might be worth looking at it to see if anything sticks out: https://code.launchpad.net/~kjtehprogrammer/maya/bug-1441262

This same thing is happening to me. When I have my ownCloud calDAV calendar synced, I click on the date in wingpanel, and it opens and then immediately closes and wingpanel appears to reload. When I uncheck my calDAV calendars (2 from ownCloud), the wingpanel 'calendar dropdown' works fine.

Using Loki 0.4.

Update: My calDAV calendar in ownCloud had an error message saying something like "Some of the events in this calendar are broken. Please check JS console..."

I just created a new calDAV calendar, synced it with Elementary OS and the wingpanel date indicator appears to be working fine.

Not sure what happened to my calendar or what event was causing the issue. Oh well.
