I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 an my machine and since the last upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 the date&time is missing in the top panel of Unity. This machine was originally installed with Ubuntu 12.10. I upgraded it from 12.10→13.04, from 13.04→13.10 and last week from 13.10→14.04.
I tried every solution found in this question: Missing date & time from top panel of Unity Desktop. But nothing of all this works :-(
I tried the following things:
- reinstalling
indicator-datetime
sudo apt-get remove --purge indicator-datetime
and install it againsudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
sudo killall unity-panel-service
and of course log out/log in again and so on...
Where can I find log files for the indicator or where could help me otherwise with this problem?
Trying to debug:
$ locate indicator-datetime-service
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service
$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service
Indicator-Datetime-Message: indicator-datetime exiting; failed/lost bus ownership
locate indicator-datetime-service
to find where it is installed then run it in terminal. Report if there any error message.failed/lost bus ownership
means it was running already.dconf reset -f /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/
. didn't work trypkill -f datetime
then/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service
