Re: xfce4 and time setting

I have time-admin (part of the package gnome-system-tools), and the correspònding item in the settings window. It’s a nice GUI:

I’m using Xubuntu 16.04.5. It came installed by default, as it depends on the xubuntu-desktop metapackage.

Re: xfce4 and time setting

I see that xfce don’t has a section to set date and time, I must do by term..very noise

Afaict, Xfce 4.12 comes with a built-in gui to update the system’s «Time and Date» setting. There are 2 ways to access this popup window:

— Whisker Menu > System Category > left-click the «Time and Date» option; or
— Xfce Menu > System Category > left-click the «Time and Date» option.

Note: On Mint’s Xfce-spin (18.* and 19) the «All Settings» manager does not show the foregoing option. Moreover, Xfce’s popup window differs somewhat from Gnome’s — it has an «unlock» button (prompting you for the root password) not present on Gnome’s, but doesn’t display a time-server selection list like Gnome’s popup.

Hope this helps. Cheers, M4A

Re: xfce4 and time setting

@mint4all: are you sure that is not a Mint app instead? I don’t see any such item anywhere in Xfce 4.12.

We have a gui app for this called «Time Settings» and I believe that Gnome has a Date and Time one as well.

Re: xfce4 and time setting

I’m using Slackware 14.2 by XFCE 4.12

I haven’t used Slackware, but I made some searches and I can’t find a GUI.

I saw mentions of tzdata, tzselect and timeconfig on the terminal, do you use any of those?

Re: xfce4 and time setting

Prompted by your replies, i did some additional research. On my Mint systems, LM18.3 & LM19, i found the «Time and Date» settings GUI in the menus. In a terminal, however, the equivalent command to execute is «time-admin» which ends up displaying the afore mentioned gui. It even has its own man-page.

Much to my surprise, though, this command’s man-page states that this command is part-and-parcel of the «Gnome system tools». Then when i searched in synaptic on Mint 18.3, i found both an entry for the «gnome-time-admin» and «gnome-system-tools» packages, and i also found an apt-cache policy for both. The troubling observation i made was that the installed gui looks different (possibly back-leveled?) from what synaptic lists, and what the gui’s help button displays (the look of the gnome-version).

However, the same search on Mint 19 shows no such packages in synaptic, and there’s no apt-cache policy either even though Mint 19 has those same menu entries, and both the menu-entry and the command are functional and display that non-gnome gui.

Upshot: those of you who need this gui-app, simply install «gnome-system-tools» which bundles a few other, helpful tools as well, and i quote .

Its main advantages are: * Full integration with the new GNOME Control Center. * An user-friendly interface to carry out the main administration tasks. * The use of a common user interface in every system. * A common structure that makes easy the development of new system tools. Nowadays there are tools for managing: - Users and groups - Date and time - Network options - Services - Shares (NFS and Samba)

xfce4-datetime-plugin DateTime

xfce4-datetime-plugin shows the date and time in the panel; when left-clicked, a popup calendar appears.

The original plugin was written by Choe Hwanjin. Remco den Breeje wrote the 0.4.x and 0.5.0 versions. Diego Ongaro was the maintainer from 2008 to 2010.

Usage

Install the datetime package in the usual way for your distribution, or get the source and run ./configure, make, make install.

Calendar

To open the calendar, simply left-click the plugin on your panel. Left-click on it again to close the calendar.

Note: The information on which day the calendar week starts is derived from the locale.

Properties Dialog

To open the properties dialog, right-click the plugin on your panel and select Properties.

The properties dialog allows you to use a “Custom” format string for your date or time options. The format string you enter should be compatible with strftime. Here are some format string specifiers from the “date” command’s help:

%% a literal % %a locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun) %A locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday) %b locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan) %B locale's full month name (e.g., January) %c locale's date and time (e.g., Thu Mar 3 23:05:25 2005) %C century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21) %d day of month (e.g, 01) %D date; same as %m/%d/%y %e day of month, space padded; same as %_d %F full date; same as %Y-%m-%d %g last two digits of year of ISO week number (see %G) %G year of ISO week number (see %V); normally useful only with %V %h same as %b %H hour (00..23) %I hour (01..12) %j day of year (001..366) %k hour ( 0..23) %l hour ( 1..12) %m month (01..12) %M minute (00..59) %n a newline %p locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known %P like %p, but lower case %r locale's 12-hour clock time (e.g., 11:11:04 PM) %R 24-hour hour and minute; same as %H:%M %s seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC %S second (00..60) %t a tab %T time; same as %H:%M:%S %u day of week (1..7); 1 is Monday %U week number of year, with Sunday as first day of week (00..53) %V ISO week number, with Monday as first day of week (01..53) %w day of week (0..6); 0 is Sunday %W week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53) %x locale's date representation (e.g., 12/31/99) %X locale's time representation (e.g., 23:13:48) %y last two digits of year (00..99) %Y year %z +hhmm numeric timezone (e.g., -0400) %Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)

xfce4-panel — Clock

The Clock panel plugin displays the current time in a variety of styles and formats, and allows for custom tooltips to appear on hover. It also provides a basic calendar that appears when clicked.

Preferences

Clock Preferences

Time Settings

Timezone Allows you to set a custom timezone for the clock by entering the name of a file in the zoneinfo database. If left blank, the clock uses the localtime.

Calendar

Command Allows you to set a custom command for the calendar window instead of the default GTK calendar. A possible choice if you use Orage is orage -t .

Appearance

Layout Analogue Displays a round, analogue clock with an hour, minute and optionally second hand in the panel. Binary Displays a grid with highlighted tiles depicting the time in binary. Digital Displays the time digitally. Fuzzy Displays the time as words rather than using numbers. LCD Displays the time in the style of an LCD clock. Tooltip format Changes the format of the time that gets displayed in the tooltip when hovering over the clock plugin.

Clock Options

The options available will vary depending on the clock Layout selected.

Binary
Binary mode	Decimal, Sexagesimal or Binary time, see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Binary_clock&oldid=1081961926
Display seconds	Displays seconds on the clock
Show Inactive Dots	Show empty dots
Show grid	Adds gridlines to the clock

Digital
Layout	Choose the layout you want. To display time and date on the same line, use “Date only” or “Time only” and a custom format:
Font	The font that applies globally to the format selected below
Format	Format in which time and date are displayed with a predefined or custom format. Fonts entered here take precedence over the one selected above since 4.18.1.

Fuzzy
Fuzziness	Changes the degree of ‘fuzziness’ that the clock will display. 0 being the most accurate (displaying “six o’clock” for example), 1 being less accurate, and 2 being the least accurate (displaying “Afternoon” for example)

LCD
Display seconds	Displays a seconds indicator on the clock
24-hour clock	Displays time in a 24-hour (military) format
Flash time separators	Flash the separators between digits every second
Show AM/PM	Displays an ‘A’ or ‘P’ next to the time to indicate the time of day

Label and Tooltip Markup

The plugin supports markup to change the layout of the tooltip and the label on the panel. For more information on Pango, the markup used for the label, see the Pango Text Attribute Markup manual to see what attributes are supported (e.g. font face, color etc).

The following is a list of available label format control sequences copied from a date utility manual ( man date ), reduced by those that are not supported by GDateTime:

Symbol	Meaning
%%	a literal %
%a	locale’s abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun)
%A	locale’s full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)

%B	locale’s full month name (e.g., January)
%c	locale’s date and time (e.g., Thu Mar 3 23:05:25 2005)
%C	century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21)
%d	day of month (e.g, 01)
%e	day of month, space padded; same as %_d

%I	hour (01..12)
%j	day of year (001..366)
%k	hour ( 0..23)

%. z	numeric time zone with : to necessary precision (e.g., -04, +05:30)
%Z	alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)

By default, numeric fields are padded with 0’s. The following optional flags may follow % :

Flag	Meaning
O (uppercase “o”)	use alternative numeric symbols, if the current locale supports those
— (hyphen)	do not pad the field
_ (underscore)	pad with spaces
0 (zero)	pad with zeros

Hidden Settings

These hidden settings can be manually created using the xfce4-settings-editor and must be created as children of the “clock” plugin. A simple one-liner can be used to create the property and is displayed below for hidden element.

The default time-config-tool is “time-admin”. If it is available on your system, the “Time and Date Settings” button will be enabled in clock properties. You can customize what application is used for setting data and time by setting this property.

You can use this one-liner to create the property:

COMMAND="APP_TO_RUN"; xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p $(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep clock | awk '')/time-config-tool -t string -s "$COMMAND" -n

Change APP_TO_RUN to the name of the custom tool that you want to use.
