[Bug 1244285] Re: Date/time sometimes doesn’t appear in menu bar, settings greyed out (Ubuntu 13.10, 14.04)

 

I see it also on 14.04 (32-bit) but only very recently.  And it happened
always right away after boot and log in.  A workaround (a bit more
elegant that the killall one mentioned above) was for me to just start
the service in a shell as ...

      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-
service

... which i copy/pasted from /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-
datetime.desktop.  Looking in log-files in /var/log and in ~/.xsession-
error i didn't find any errors, so not sure whether it crashed or simply
didn't get started (e.g., whether above xdg autostart was ignored?)
