Since I upgraded to 12.04 recently I've started to notice this problem. Namely, indicator-datetime-service was still running at 100% CPU, and was quickly restarted (with just highter PID) after killing its process.
However, I was puzzled why at the same time some geoclue- related service also worked? I've found that indicator-datetime package indeed has a dependency upon: geoclue-yahoo | geoclue-provider. Then I have started to suspect that the real problem somehow comes from issue with geoclue - and I was right (in my case). MY SOLUTION: I have used aptitude and marked geoclue-yahoo to be uninstalled, then I solved the now missing dependency by marking geoclue-ubuntu-geoip to be installed. After installation geoclue provider was essentially switched. Now I have no more 100% CPU problem, but a usable system instead. Probably I could have used any other package that is listed in geoclue-provider virtual package, and there are many. Go figure: * geoclue-ubuntu-geoip 0.0.2-0ubuntu6 * geoclue-gypsy 0.12.0-1ubuntu4 * geoclue-gsmloc 0.12.0-1ubuntu4 * geoclue-gpsd 0.12.0-1ubuntu4 * geoclue-yahoo 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-skyhook 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-plazes 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-manual 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-localnet 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-hostip 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 * geoclue-geonames 0.12.0-1ubuntu12 Hope this helps. -- 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
