This bug is 100% reproducible. I am using Lucid Lynx. I have attached my crash file. I enabled apport, but it refuses to upload the crash:
"The problem cannot be reported: The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes." Why are assertions enabled in production code? And if you choose to enable them, the apport bug reporter should be able to handle them like any other crash. ** Attachment added: "_usr_lib_gnome-panel_clock-applet.1002.crash" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/580735/+attachment/2399536/+files/_usr_lib_gnome-panel_clock-applet.1002.crash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580735 Title: Clock Applet crashes for no reason Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: At random times of the day, the clock-applet will stop working. I won't know until I check the time and notice that it is incorrect based on another time source (i.e. phone, laptop, etc..) Running TOP I find a zombie process. I kill the zombie process and an error will pop up with the message "CLOCK" has quit unexpectedly and give me two options, close or reload the applet. I can reload, and the applet will start up again, but at a random time, will stop and create the zombie process again. I I choose to close the error, the clock-applet no longer displays on my panel. I can through the "ADD TO PANEL" dialog add the clock back to the panel and it will start, but within a random amount of time will stop again. Ubuntu Version: 10.04 LTS What is expected to happen: Clock applet should run without a problem. What happens instead: Clock applet stops working after a random period of time and a reload is required.
