Removing the duplicate as it seems the original issue (bug 1239710) is fixed. Using this bug to track new occurrences in trusty.
I just got this, using r34 (trusty). <seb128> [11:02:34] Ursinha, check is the service is running and maybe the corresponding upstart log <Ursinha> [11:05:19] seb128, indicator-datetime-service isn't running <seb128> [11:06:19] Ursinha, is there anything useful in the upstart log? <Ursinha> [11:07:19] seb128, the only mention I could find in upstart logs is in dbus.log, the last message says: Failed to activate service 'com.canonical.indicator.datetime': timed out <seb128> [11:07:53] Ursinha, is that current trusty? the indicators should be managed by upstart with the changes ted did <seb128> [11:08:14] e.g they should have their own log <Ursinha> [11:08:18] seb128, yes, trusty, r34 <seb128> [11:09:45] Ursinha, well, in any case it seems like the service had an issue and timeouted, not a lot you can get now, if it happens again it would be useful to get a gdb stacktrace before the timeout ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1239710 indicator-datetime or -session missing ~10% of the time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.
