** Summary changed: - Launcher icons are all rendered up in top left corner (happens after long uptime) + unity::TimeUtil::TimeDelta returns an int value which overflows after 24 days of uptime
** Description changed: - This issue, to me, is the same issue as - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/762478. However a - poster on their thinks this is only related to the nvidia graphics - driver. I tend to disagree, nonelethess I am filing a new bug for it. - The behavior is the same. The icons are not showing up in the Unity - launcher. When I hover over them I can read the icon's "name" and - clicking on it works. I tried unity --reset, unity --reset-icons, sudo - restart gdm and finally only resetting my entire system fixed the issue - (although the icons are back to their default now -- none of my custom - icons are appearing). I do not have an NVIDIA graphics card, but - rather, a built-in Intel one. + unity::TimeUtil::TimeDelta is used throughout Unity to compute time + differences in milliseconds between events. Unfortunately, TimeDelta + returns an int value, which can only express differences up to ~ 24 + days. So after 24 days of uptime, Unity breaks.
