    clock no longer on menu bar

    I've been running Ubuntu 14.04.2 for awhile. One day my date/clock no longer appeared on the menu bar. In the Time & Date settings, "Show a clock in the menu bar" is still checked. The process appears to be running, i.e.,

    Code:
    $ ps -e | grep datet   
     3959 ?        00:00:00 indicator-datet
    I've tried various fixes.

    Attempt 1:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata
    sudo killall unity-panel-service
    Attempt 2:

    Code:
    sudo restart lightdm
    Attempt 3:

    Code:
    setsid unity
    Attempt 4:

    Code:
    dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/show-clock true
    Attempt 5:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove indicator-datetime
    sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime
    Nothing has restored the clock. Any ideas?

    I killed this process and clock went back to menu bar
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-datetime/indicator-datetime-service


    dunno if I have to do this on every reboot, tho

    That doesn't work for me. A new indicator-datetime-service process is started immediately after I kill the old one, but still no clock.
