I could find nothing on it. I want to change the date format for the clock in the upper right corner of the screen so that instead of reading [Wed 28 Apr, 11:51 AM] I will say [Wed 11:51 AM].
View 6 RepliesI thought I was removing the chat status piece of the indicator applet (I know what it is now, didn't then), but I accidentally removed the whole thing. Now when I figured out how to put it back on the panel, I can't get it back to where it was (which was to the RIGHT of the system date/time applet). How can I do this as well as move the indicator applet that has the volume control in it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used gconf-editor to change the format of the date and time displayed on the panel (I wanted sort-able strings for pasting into a table of OpenOffice base, since base can not automatically insert the current timestamp value into a column with the create time of its table row).which is not the default formatting, and the gconf-editor dialog does not show a separate attribute for setting the format of the date separately from the time format. Where is the format string for the date portion of the current date and time value ?
View 1 Replies View Relatedthe indicator applet on Lucid has a clock, so that I now have two in my panel: the clock applet and the one in the indicator applet. I prefer the clock applet and would like to get rid of the clock in the indicator applet.
It should be possible, since the clock only shows up on my desktop PC, not my laptop.
Sometime yesterday, I noticed that I couldn't turn off the computer using the indicator in the top right corner because of a glitch in how the clock is displayed. As you can see in the screenshot below, the indicator applet is hidden and I had no idea how to "refresh" the panel so that the indicator applet would show again. Although this doesn't happen often, I encounter this problem from time to time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do something a little crazy with my netbook, and I'm looking for some sage advice. Since I'm trying to maximize free screen space on my 10" netbook, I have top and bottom the panels auto-hide. No problems there, and since I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts (some default, some custom) I don't even use the touchpad unless I absolutely have to. My most common apps are shortcutted, and I've got Alt-F2 for everything else. However, by hiding the top panel, I don't have a clock on the screen. This is fine in essence, but when I want to know the time, I have to mouse up to the top of the screen. Not horrible, but it goes against my nature!
So my question is: Is there any way to make holding a key/combo display the time, then have it disappear when the key is released? I would love for this to happen when I hold the windoze key, as it is currently unused.
(btw, my windoze key will soon be an Ubuntu key, the good people at System76 and their free sticker set:[URL]... I know how to add custom keyboard shortcuts, but other than launching a clock app, I have no idea how to make this happen, or if it's even possible.
I had the Clock Applet installed in my panel up through 10.04- when I did the upgrade to 10.10, it was removed (with no explaination). Now, when I try to put it back into the panel, I get the following error message-"The panel encountered a problem while loading OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet"and asks me if I want to leave it anyway, or remove it. Regardless of what I select, it does not appear.I like the clock applet. Has anyone else had this issue? Would this be classified as a bug, or is it already a known issue? I have not searched Bugzilla yet.Would this have any relation to the issue I am having with being unable to re-install evolution (Which was also removed during upgrade)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.04.2 and I've got a problem with the Clock 2.30.2 applet not updating the time.
The only way I can get this to work is after logging on, removing the applet from the panel & the adding it back again. Not really a satisfactory "fix".
I must be overlooking something here, but I can't find out how to add "Alarm Clock Applet" to my panel. In Ubuntu Software Center, there's a picture of the program right in the panel and feature to add to panel, but there's no option for me to do this. "Add to Panel" doesn't have the application either.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently noticed that the time displayed in the Gnome Clock applet is exactly (or nearly so) one second behind NTP time.I have a NTP server on my small network to which I sync my other PCs. Some of the applications I run are critical of time and need sub second accuracy - I am also a bit of Time Nut as well.My NTP server is OK. My PCs can sync to my NTP server OK. My applications which require precise time get the right time from NTP - BUT - the time displayed in the GNOME Clock applet is always behind one second!I have spent much time searching for others with similar problems and their solutions but so far nothing - hence my asking here, why do I see this behaviour and what can I do about it
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt simply doesn't work. No matter what city I put there (I even tried putting American cities) the applet just widens a bit to the left and shows nothing. Doing some searches, I learned the protocol it uses is called METAR, the data is provided by airports, and the list of locations is at:[URL]..
But this file doesn't exist! What exists is:[URL].. And that one only has American cities. But, as I said, not even American cities work. Where should I start looking?
Any one know of a world clock applet that can be run in gnome 3, something that you can show or choose from different cities around the world.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from Lucid to Maverick my Clock applet is acting up. When I click it there is a delay of about 1 minute 16 seconds before it responds. The time display does not change while this delay is taking place. I had several locations setup and I figured it may be causing the issue so I removed the Clock applet from the panel and then re-added it. Even with default settings and no extra locations defined it still has the delay but only when clicked. If I leave it alone it chugs along with the current time. I have applied all updates and restarted. I have killed all the gnome panels and let them reload but nothing seems to effect this behavior.
All of my other gnome panel applets are working fine.Does this ring any bells? Is anyone else having similar issues?
I updated my Ubuntu Desktop systems (2x 10.10 and 1x 10.04) within the last 2 days. After the update, the "clock" applet in the panel has stopped showing the year! Here is how it appears now:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing a strange problem with GNOME Clock on Fedora 13. When the applet is in the bottom panel, and I click on the clock, the popup display appears at the top of the screen rather than at the bottom of the screen (above the bottom panel) as would be expected. Worse, the display appears higher than would be expected had the clock been on the top panel, meaning the display is cutoff (ie, the display goes off the top of the screen). I've tried playing with my .gconf files, and removing and re-adding the GNOME Clock applet, but nothing has worked. I'm not sure if this is a weird quirk particular to my settings, or a more general bug; can readers here check to see if the behavior I've described occurs if the Clock applet is added to the bottom panel?

Is this a bug? Anyone know how to fix it? code...
I noticed that the language es_ES (Spanish Spain), has a problem, you can't put the clock in 12 hours format, I was googling for a while and found that it should edit the file
Code:
/usr/share/i18n/locales/es_ES
Find these lines
Code:
am_pm "";""
t_fmt_ampm ""
and replace with
Code:
am_pm "<U0041><U004D>";"<U0050><U004D>"
t_fmt_ampm "<U0025><U0049><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053>/
<U0020><U0025><U0070>"
But I did it and still don't show me the option to change the clock to 12 hour format, I tried changing the es_NI language (Spanish Nicaragua) and gives me the option of 12 hours, but the languages of programs like firefox, thunderbird, openoffice change to English.What can i do to have language es_ES and 12 hours format on my clock? or es_NI language with firefox, thunderbird etc. in spanish?
Very simple question but very frustrating as none of the other threads/bug reports/whatever have had quite the same problem. I want gnome clock to display the time in 12 hour format. The suggested solution is something like right-click the clock -> Preferences and somewhere there will be an option to choose 12/24 hour time. Problem is I don't have that option.
The help has a note that 12 hour time "is not shown if your session language does not use the 12 hour clock" but this really shouldn't be a problem? My language/locale/city, everything I can think of, it's all some variation of en_GB, UK English, Brisbane, Australia: all places which should allow the option of 12 hour clock! So why don't I have that option?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I set the clock to speak the time, I get this when it tries: starting kttsd failed. I've looked at the various posts, but haven't yet found an actual solution.

Type kttsmgr, press enter since there is not obvious other way to execute the command, and nothing happens.
Is this a module that does not come with KDE? And I give - I can't find time format anywhere. How do you change the clock that appears in the lower right corner to 12 hour instead of what appears to be default 24 hour? I don't see it in "Digital Clock Settings", and I don't see it in System Settings - Date & Time. This is a clean install of slackware 13.1, and whatever version of KDE comes with it.
