** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-panel I filed this bug using the PID of the clock-applet and ubuntu bug, but I think the clock-applet only shows a symptom, Here is a description : Expected Behaviour : Clock-applet displays the correct time, Observed Behaviour : Displayed time is drifting How to reproduce : If I get away from my computer for some times, the time displayed by the clock applet drifts. But the date command also show the wrong time. Moreover, sleep interval also get wrong. To debug this, I tested the following script : #!/bin/bash while [[ true ]] do - date >> clocktest.log - hwclock >> clocktest.log - sleep 300 + date >> clocktest.log + hwclock >> clocktest.log + sleep 300 done Must be run as root because of hwclock. Il launched it : ./clocktest.sh & and got away from my computer Here is the output log : 1 mardi 17 août 2010, 12:42:12 (UTC+0200) 2 mar. 17 août 2010 12:42:13 CEST -0.346882 secondes 3 mardi 17 août 2010, 12:47:13 (UTC+0200) 4 mar. 17 août 2010 12:57:13 CEST -0.080965 secondes 5 mardi 17 août 2010, 12:52:13 (UTC+0200) 6 mar. 17 août 2010 13:02:14 CEST -1.002776 secondes 7 mardi 17 août 2010, 12:57:18 (UTC+0200) 8 mar. 17 août 2010 13:07:18 CEST -0.063633 secondes 9 mardi 17 août 2010, 13:02:18 (UTC+0200) 10 mar. 17 août 2010 13:12:19 CEST -0.361501 secondes 11 mardi 17 août 2010, 13:07:19 (UTC+0200) 12 mar. 17 août 2010 13:17:20 CEST -0.987434 secondes Line 1 and 2 show the first time through the loop. Line 3 and 4 show the bug : while date (and sleep) thinks 5 minutes have elapsed, hwclock shows that 15 minutes have elapsed. Line 5 to 12 shows normal behaviour, except now date is late by 10 minutes. Behaviour is normal because I was back at my desk using the computer. - Having clock applet displaying the wrong time is one thing, but having - the whole system time wrong (since sleep gets confused too) is a major - bug. + Additional info : + * Hardware is an Amilo xi2550 + * If I keep the computer busy, for example building a kernel, and I go away, clock works a expected, + and so does the screen locking mechanism. + * Everything was working fine with 8.04 + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: gnome-panel 1:2.30.2-0ubuntu0.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.39-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Aug 18 09:43:59 2010 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/gnome-panel/clock-applet ProcEnviron: - LANG=fr_FR.utf8 - PATH=(custom, user) - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=fr_FR.utf8 + PATH=(custom, user) + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-panel XsessionErrors: - (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1990): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed - (gnome-terminal:2235): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_map_unlock_path: assertion `entry != NULL && entry->lock_count > 0' failed - (<unknown>:2763): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead - (<unknown>:2763): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead + (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1990): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed + (gnome-terminal:2235): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_map_unlock_path: assertion `entry != NULL && entry->lock_count > 0' failed + (<unknown>:2763): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead + (<unknown>:2763): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
