Or is that what you meant by the GNOME frontend not working?  If so
then you have probably run into this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/751175
The workaround is

1. Press ALT+F2 (to bring up the "Run a command" dialog)
2. Type killall indicator-datetime-preferences and press Enter
3. Try to open Time & Date Settings again
