Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238043 Title: indicator-datetime-service is opening /etc/localtime every 5 seconds even on a totally "idle" system Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: In an attempt to reduce unnecessary frequent periodic file access to save power, I noticed that indicator-datetime-service is opening and closing /etc/localtime every 5 seconds on my desktop and not apparently reading this file. On the ubuntu phone it is doing the same thing with /etc/writable/localtime. This seems a little excessive, especially because the TZ data doesn't change quite that frequently. It would be useful if this excessive polling on the file could be reduced if possible.
