| DocMors | hi, can anyone tell me how to change the clock in the indicator applet from 12h to 24h? | 20:59 |
|---|---|---|
| DocMors | I'm on 24.04 mate | 20:59 |
| superkuh | Right click it. | 21:01 |
| superkuh | Preferences. | 21:01 |
| superkuh | Radio select toggle 24 hour format. | 21:01 |
| DocMors | if I rright clock the applet it offers me no preferences only about, remove from panel, move and lock to panel | 21:02 |
| DocMors | there isn't also anything in the ayatana indicator settings | 21:03 |
| DocMors | I switched from English US to English Ireland, but that is only a workaround. There seems to be no control to change 12h to 24h. | 21:09 |
| superkuh | That's not the clock applet then. | 21:10 |
| DocMors | it's the indicator applet in the top right corner | 21:10 |
| superkuh | Remove the all-in-one indicator applet and re-add individual applets for each. | 21:10 |
| superkuh | Or, add them first. | 21:10 |
| DocMors | yeah sure | 21:10 |
| superkuh | Just to make sure you have the functionality. | 21:10 |
| DocMors | that is not fixing the actual lack of a control | 21:10 |
| DocMors | like siad switching to English Ireland fixed it but that is not really a good way | 21:11 |
| superkuh | Okay, so, you're using the indicator applet. You seem to want to continue using the indicator applet. The indicator applet does not have the functionality you want. But everything the indicator applet can do you can do with individual applets which will be configurable. | 21:11 |
| oerheks | i think you need mate-desktop-environment-extras for that? | 21:12 |
| superkuh | I did run into that problem once. | 21:12 |
| DocMors | oerheks, thanks let me try | 21:12 |
| oerheks | !info mate-desktop-environment-extras | 21:12 |
| DocMors | oerheks, tried that but there seems to be nothing in there either, maybe I'm tired. I'll pick this up tomorrow :) | 21:17 |
| oerheks | a hack: gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-seconds true | 21:20 |
| oerheks | or com.canonical.indicator.datetime schema using dconf-editor | 21:20 |
| DocMors | :) thanks again | 21:20 |
| superkuh | I wrote a little bash script called with cron that turns on show seconds on "movie nights" so I can synch movie starts with friends on IRC. | 21:21 |
| superkuh | Without having to right click on and then right click off after the movie. | 21:22 |
| oerheks | cron does minutes, systemd timers finally do seconds too | 21:22 |
| superkuh | And on many systems like debian 11 that fake having cron but do systemd timers in the background if you add things that will trigger in the next minute they fail. | 21:22 |
| superkuh | But on non-systemd systems it works. | 21:23 |

| DocMors | oerheks, dconf-editor did the trick. I was looking clock but that didn't help. The search string datetime did the trick. Would be nice to have a simple tick box though. | 21:24 |
| oerheks | file a bug /wishlist | 21:24 |
| oerheks | you can show it is possible | 21:24 |
| DocMors | will do tomorrow, thanks and good night | 21:25 |
