KDE Plasma clock not updating
Hi,
On recent snapshots (sorry, not sure exactly when it started) the clock
in various parts of KDE Plasma appears hung and does not update the
date/time along with the system clock.
Panel widgets such as "Digital Clock" and "Analog Clock" are stuck at
the date/time that KDE started and do not tick forward. If a change is
made to Digital Clock settings that would update the time display such
as "Show seconds", the panel widget does update once with the correct
time at the exact moment of the change but doesn't update again unless
another setting change is made.
When locking a KDE session, the clock on the lock screen hangs at the
moment it was locked and does not move forward. Unlocking and re-locking
updates the lock screen clock each time to the correct time at the
moment it was locked.
I enabled logging per the kde-plasma pkg-readme and there are no errors
output there. Same result when testing digitalclock with
plasmawindowed/plasmoidviewer.
This is reproducible on a clean 7.9-beta amd64 snap install from April 7
with the latest packages from April 4 as well as a machine that has been
upgraded from previous snaps.
Thanks,
-Mark
