Yes, this bug is now affecting me too. 10.04 fully up-to-date on 18th July 2013, kernel ver 2.6.32-49.
The problem is not really a crash, but a hang that sometimes recovers. I managed to grab a gdb trace when it hung, but don't have debug symbols for most things. Hope this helps! ** Attachment added: "gdb backtrace according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace"; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/580735/+attachment/3743125/+files/gdb-clock-applet.txt -- 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: Confirmed 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.
