Don't know if this helps, but I made a small script I named 'fixtime' that restores the clock when it goes away: ================= #!/bin/sh
apt-get install indicator-datetime killall unity-panel-service ================= Just running killall unity-panel-service does not bring back the clock. I have to first install the indicator-datetime (which comes back reporting that it is already the newest version, so nothing actually happens there): root@IW-UB-01:/# fixtime Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done indicator-datetime is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@IW-UB-01:/# This brings back my clock. So something with touching the indicator-datetime installation file(s) seems to make a difference.
