I like having a clock showing the current time and date in the menu bar, but this morning when I logged in it's not there anymore. Everything under System Settings > Time & Date > Clock is greyed out. Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.

    I had to run the command in _sudo_ mode to make it work (as said in the comments of the bug). If it does not work _without sudo_ for you, `sudo killall unity-panel-service`. – Lilley Feb 25 '14 at 07:15

    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS just presented the same issue. – Telmo Pimentel Mota Jun 12 '14 at 10:51
  • Can confirm - 14.04 regression – Julian Nov 04 '14 at 17:41
  • Just happened to me on Ubuntu 14.04.2 (kernel v 3.16.0-41-generic). The System setting panel for datetime is fully functional but the darn thing does not appear on the Unity bar. Also the above fix did not work. Nor does `> dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata`...... `> sudo restart lightdm` rebooted the system with nochange after reboot. – Cbhihe Jun 23 '15 at 09:37
  • It might happen after you [install the f.lux indicator](https://gist.github.com/robertboloc/9feaa9150926efa4175a). – Dan Dascalescu Aug 14 '15 at 09:55
  • 16.04. still reproducible. the killall unity-panel-service did not help – ses Dec 04 '18 at 18:58
