[Bug 1238043] Re: indicator-datetime-service is opening /etc/localtime every 5 seconds even on a totally idle system
** Description changed: In an attempt to reduce unnecessary frequent periodic file access to save power, I noticed that indicator-datetime-service is opening and closing /etc/localtime every 5 seconds on my desktop and not apparently reading this file. On the ubuntu phone it is doing the same thing with /etc/writable/localtime. This seems a little excessive, especially because the TZ data doesn't change quite that frequently. It would be useful if this excessive polling on the file could be reduced if possible. + + [Impact] + * Battery drain, wasting energy by a lot of unnecessary polling + + [Test Case] + * Observe how often /etc/localtime or /etc/writable/localtime gets opened for reading + + [Regression Potential] + * Possibility to not get the local time reliably -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238043 Title: indicator-datetime-service is opening /etc/localtime every 5 seconds even on a totally idle system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1238043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
