I'm also affected by this bug, which I already noticed in Ubuntu 10.04 and is still present in 10.10.
When located behind a firewall and having an automatic proxy script defined in System --> Preferences --> Network proxy, the bug is 100% reproductible by following this simple procedure: - add a clock applet on a gnome-panel; - add a city in its configuration (Click on the date/time --> Locations --> Edit --> Add --> chose any location --> OK); - when clicking on OK, the applet always crashes immediately with an error message "Clock has quit unexpectedly ... " and 2 buttons "Don't Reload" and "Reload"; - if I click "Reload", the applet reloads OK but crashes again exactly 52 seconds later (perfectly reproductible); - this cycle of reloads and crashes after 52 seconds can be repeated for a long time; the applet never runs for more then 52 seconds before crashing. But: if I declare a manual proxy or put the same machine on a network where no proxy is needed, the clock applet never crashes. -- clock-applet continually crashing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
