Ted, assigning to you since you added the upstart job. That's something Lars warned about previous cycle, but we forgot about it before merging, the dbus activation was letting the indicator control if it needed to run or to exit. We profile need to make the upstart job smarter (like maybe tweak the signal to specify the session type and start e.g sync only in desktop mode)
Other indicators have similar issues, but they don't keep respawning because they stopped using libindicator so they don't have the exit- when-no-listener behaviour ** Changed in: indicator-sync Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: indicator-sync Assignee: (unassigned) => Ted Gould (ted) ** Summary changed: - Upstart jobs keeps respawing indicator-sync on the greeter + Upstart job keeps respawing indicator-sync on the greeter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sync in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255719 Title: Upstart job keeps respawing indicator-sync on the greeter Status in The Sync Menu: New Status in “indicator-sync” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using trusty, /var/lib/lightdm/.cache/upstart/indicator-sync.log indicates that upstart keeps trying spawning indicator-sync which exit with "No watchers, service time out." The indicator is not supposed to be used on the greeter, the upstart job there seems like it should be smarter...
