Can someone confirm whether or not this is still occurring in with indicator-datetime version 13.10.0+14.04.20140314.1-0ubuntu1 or higher?
Given that the settings panel was also greyed out, my first guess is that indicator-datetime was crashing and not being restarted. Ted Gould's upstart work on indicators during the 14.04 should fix the restart issue, so I'd like to get confirmation on whether or not this is still an issue in up-to-date 14.04 installs. ** Changed in: indicator-datetime Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.
