I experienced the similar problem on 12.10 and 13.04 indicator-datetime-service together with gnome-settings-daemon - process kept eating RAM and used 100% CPU. Problem turned out to be some corrupted cache files in ~/.cache/ . Upon deleting them, problem stopped.
It first began then I used Raring (13.04). I migrated to Quantal (12.10) without changing my home directory. After several reboots and apt-get upgrade problem started occuring again. Anyone experiencing this I suggest wiping their ~/.cache folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774071 Title: Indicator-datetime-service renders 100% CPU usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-datetime/+bug/774071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
