I upgraded from 16.04 remix, and I can’t change the time from 24 hour to 12 hour. It just doesn’t do it. mike

Could you tell what gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-format sais? and what happens if you run: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-format '12h' ?

How do I run those commands? When I try them in a terminal, nothing happens, it just resets. To clarify, I mean the “big time,” not the time at the top. That one is OK, it reads am/pm. Maybe the “big time” only reads 24h? (By big time I mean the time and date on the screen, as opposed to the small digital clock in the panel). The settings are correct in the time and date settings, they just don’t seem to affect the on-screen time display.

If you mean the desktop one, you have to go to Budgie Desktop Settings, then go to your panel, find the applet called Desktop time & date and press Twelve hours display on the right side menu.

Have a look at budgie settings and the date and time applet you can configure 12hr stuff and other things as well. Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond. To unsubscribe from these emails, click here. I have already done that, it doesn’t have the desired result.

Probably a silly question, but are you sure you set it in Budgie Settings <> Gnome Settings.

I didn’t do anything today to it; perhaps just restarting my computer made the changes I attempted yesterday take effect. Case closed. Everything seems to be working now, the upgrade from remix appears to have been very successful.

Actually, I spoke too soon. I forgot it was still before 1pm, so it read correctly (12:34, e.g.). Now that it is past 1 pm, I see it is still set to 24 time format.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the applet. It uninstalled, although I had to restart to make it effective. I then reinstalled, but now it has gone into hiding. It is listed as installed in Budgie Applets, but it is not on the screen. I restarted again to see if that would help, but it did not.

could you add the applet to the applets and run budgie-panel --replace& and post the output? Could be the data in ~/.config/budgie-extras/showtime got corrupted somehow.
