[Bug 1317945] Re: Clock indicator on panel is frozen

 

While I was submitting this bug, the panel indicator jumped forwards.
So it appears to be an issue with the frequency of the update in the
panel.   It seems to get as much as a half hour behind, noting it just
jumped from 10:21am to 10:57am as I was submitting the bug report.

** Summary changed:

- Clock indicator on panel is frozen
+ Clock indicator on panel is updating infreqently

** Description changed:

  Recently I have noticed that my clock is frozen.  Clicking on the frozen
  time in the indicator shows the current time in the dropdown (below the
  calendar), however the displayed clock in the panel is never updated.
  
  Rebooting does not resolve the problem, but gives me an updated time
  displayed on the panel.
  
  It is probably unrelated, however earlier this week I did notice some
  skew (that I have never seen before), confirmed it was the system clock
  on the command line and ran an ntpdate-debian to update. I dismissed the
- skew it as a result of suspended too many times without reboot during
+ skew as the result of suspending too many times without reboot during
  which I had also toggled different CPU shedulers and frequency to
  influence system performance.
  
  ntpdate-debian updated the time.  Likely a coincidence, but I have been
  noticing this clock issue since I had this problem.
