This has to be related to other bugs... just not sure which one. If you search for "frozen clock" you will get a few hits.
I have this same issue on 10.04, 64 bit, but can add a little more information. Everything in the indicator applet seems to "hang" visually at the same time, but still works fine otherwise. The clock will get stuck (meaning the time/date does not change) but a left-click will bring up the calendar correctly. The account status icon will not change (available/away/etc) however you can left-click and see that the correct status is selected. Volume indicator is the same... you can change the volume level but the indicator will not reflect the change. I believe the network status indicator is included in that list, but can not swear to it. For me, this seems to happen randomly. Sometimes at boot and sometimes after logging out/in. Sometimes after I've been in a session for days. What seems to "un-stick" the display is anything forcing a re-draw of the applet. Changing from 12 to 24 hour time will do it. Changing themes will do it. Etc. I do have three items in the indicator applet that never seem to be affected by this... DavMail, Skype and the message indicator (the one with chat, evolution, etc). These three items continue working correctly when everything else does not. I can only assume the difference is the manner in which these elements are re-drawn. Or perhaps the way they are notified that they have to be redrawn? FWIW I have a Thunderbird add-on that updates the message indicator so I may be seeing different behavior here than someone without that add-on. -- clock 2.30.0 on ubuntu 10.04 amd64 does not update; times on locations do. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
