[Bug 1891740] Re: Indicator Applet Crashes with unity::indicator::datetime::DateTime::get() const: assertion failed: (m_dt)

[iPadGuy]

SUMMARY

For me, the fix was to delete a recently-created task in Evolution.

DETAILS

I encountered this error a few hours ago, after I added a task in
Evolution (something I rarely do).  I set three reminders for the task.
Within 10 minutes, the datetime indicator applet froze at 16:40.  The
Date tab in the Date/Time settng applet was also greyed-out, so I was
unable to turn it back on.  I re-booted three times, hoping it was an
update issue, but all I saw was the datetime indicator crash repeatedly
and then vanish within seconds of my logging in.

I searched /var/log/syslog for "crash" and found it was the datetime-
indicator service that had crashed.  I was able to confirm this with the
following command:

systemctl status indicator-datetime --user

I tried restarting it, but I got a message that the service had crashed
too many times.

Since I was fairly certain that this was related to the Evolution Task
that I just created, I deleted it, restarted the service, and the
datetime indicator came back.

Hopefully, this will help someone else.
