I'm in front of the computer and my wife just asked me to time 9 minutes... I thought I could do it with the KDE clock, but apparently not. I'm sure there are plenty of complicated calendar programs that can do that, but what's the simplest way to do it ?!?
PS1: you have 7 minutes left to answer
PS2: if you want to really know how to cook a penguin egg, the answer is hidden on my site...
I'm using a very simple conky script to diplay the date and time on my desktop. I've noticed that he conky clock is a few seconds early compared to the time displayed in the right hand side of the top panel (Natty). I guess both displays are based on the same "internal" time, so I'm left wondering how this could happen, and how to sync back the clocks.
It seems that Conky is in sync with the system date, while the panel clock is 2 seconds late (on my system). Checked with while true; do date; sleep 0.1; done
Just curious as to if it is possible to have the clock in the center of the task bar centered clock in Ubuntu 11.04?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Slackware 13.0.
During boot I see a penguin in the upper left top of my screen. This logo takes up about 10 lines of my screen and I don't want it.
I do want to keep my 132x50 lines mode tough, but no penguin.
How do I do that? I mean, SOMEHOW the penguin most have gotten there, where first normal text was displayed.
I got ReFit installed on my macbook but I get two icons: the apple and a grey windows sign. I want the penguin, so any ideas on how to change the horrendous Windows icon to the cute much-wanted penguin?

I tried adding the i915 module to my initrd, but that gives me an error message on boot. Something like "Unable to initialize the agpgart module"
Does anyone know of an interface to a quartz clock that can be used for a TOD clock?? I want to interface it to an Arduino board. Can be GPIO or USB.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had cloned a centos 5.6 installation from virtualbox virtual machine to physical box. Everything work fine. However, the time showing in os using date command differs from bios time by roughly 4 hours. I am running ntp services which sync the time with another centos server on the network. It appears that some services are using virtual clock and some use physical clock. How do I get rid of virtual clock and only use physical clock?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Slackware 13.1 in two different laptops for first time. I have some strange internet browsing behaviour in one of the laptops. I've installed 2 internet browsers(firefox,opera) using the directions from Slackbuilds.org and there is also konqueror pre-installed. Moreover I installed Wicd network manager.
I can browse some pages e.g. ..... with firefox very slowly but NEVER facebook. I can browse almost any page, even facebook, with OPERA but very very slowly. The same goes with konqueror... Wicd shows that i am always connected with my WPA wireless network

I live in Helsinki. The time zone is GMT+2. I tried to set the clock in BIOS but Ubuntu's clock is still 3 hours late. Why? And how to fix it? PS. I want command-line solutions, not GUI.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've finally returned to Ubuntu after leaving it in 2005 because of compatibility issues, but now I'm back and am hoping to stay. My experience with Ubuntu has been great by far and I can safely say that it has improved since '05. Anyway, I'm just wanting to fix this minor little occurrence I just had. You see, the Ubuntu clock and weather isn't appearing anymore. It was there and I don't even remember seeing it removed until now. I don't recall doing anything other than browse the web at the moment and I do recall the time being there before I did some surfing. Anyway, My name is still listed in the upper-right corner of the screen still. Just not the time. Did anyone else have this problem and know of a fix?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm on windows 7 my core i3 processors automatically clocks down when not much CPU power is needed. Somehow I have the idea that ubuntu 10.04 doesn't auto clock down my CPU when idle. I can tell by the short life my full battery has on ubuntu. Only 2hours compared to 5 on windows 7. Is there a way to manage this? So that the CPU automaticly adjusts it's clock settings?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an easy to use alarm clock program that I can suggest to new users. The two I have tried so far have fallen short of my expectations. "Alarm Clock" from the Ubuntu software repository starts out okay, but when the alarm actually goes off, getting it to stop seems pretty unintuitive. Click on the Alarm Clock icon, then click a Stop button in the new window that pops up. Sounds easy enough except that the icon used for "Stop" is just this grey square, so for users who are not familiar with linux or this program, it isn't even obvious that it is a button. I had one user actually uninstall the thing in order to get it to shut up. Preferably one should be able to silence the alarm by click on the alarm icon (or right clicking, if a 'doze' behavior is preferred) The other one I tried was alarm-clock-applet, which wants me to locate an alarm sound on my filesystem. Uh, no.
Does anyone know of a simple, basic alarm clock system that anyone can just sit down and immediately use without having to 'get in to the head' of the developer? Are the KDE alarms better? Am I missing something about either of these programs which would make them easier to use?

View 2 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 RelatedI have my toolbars (top and bottom) set to autohide to save screen real estate, but I need to have a clock so I always know what time it is (my clock widget keeps disappearing). There's actually tons of real estate going to waste on the top window bar. I know the program I'm looking at, and I know where I am. I think it would be cool if we could just get rid of the top bar thing, or at least make it 1/3 the size.
Otherwise, I'd like to have a clock on it, at least, since it's completely blank all the way across to the right side of the screen.
I want to adjust clock in ubuntu. When I installed it it asked about location and setting if for asia it automatically take the clock, but that timing is not correct. It showed 10 pm when actually it was 5pm. After installation I tried it to adjust but it could not be managed..it automatically took that previous timing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem with my Ubuntu Natty virtual machine running under VirtualBox on OSX.One day last week, my clock on the top bar in Gnome stopped displaying the correct time (I'm not running Unity). I'm on GMT, so right now it should be 9:31, but it's showing 3:31, so I think it's something to do with TimeZones. If I go into the date and time applet, the time is initially wrong but after a second sets itself to the correct GMT Time. The timezone is correclty set as London and it makes no difference if I unlock and set it again or select manual or automatic from internet time.
From a bash prompt, the "date" command shows: "Tue Sep 20 03:33:35 CDT 2011".If I run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" I am correctly set as London. Upon exiting the commnand I'm shown the correct London time, but then typing "date" again shows the CDT time again.The clock is correct in OSX. This has been working fine for a month or two - I think it stopped working after an update last week. Any ideas?
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].
