MX Linux Forum

I am running MX-14.2 with KDE and somehow in the past few days have somehow messed up the time that is shown on the panel. It shows up 5 hours ahead of my time zone, or UTC time, which the BIOS has. When I right click on the time and choose to adjust the date/time, the clock in that popup box has the correct time zone and the clock in that box shows the correct local time. How do I change what is showing up in the panel to be the same as shown in that popup box?
I have googled for an answer but am not getting anywhere.

There is a TimeSet app (found by typing the word time in the top search box) that might work, not sure. Image of menu attached, pretty handy.

Going by memory (scary)...

In System Settings> Localization (or something like that) look around for something that says "Computer uses UTC" or some such and toggle it. Might require a logout/login or reboot.

Jerry3904 - That time set app doesn't do anything for the KDE time app.
uncle mark - I don't see anything in Local to set the time to UTC or local, just 24 hour or AM/PM.
KDE does its own thing and that is what I have been trying to find using google. My google-fu isn't too good.
I wouldn't mind getting rid of that widget as the day and date is too tiny to see and just using the conky Gothem widget as it shows the date in a bigger format. But that won't go all the way to the right side of the screen. It stops about where the panel clock starts and I would like for it to move more to the right.

edit: Right Click the clock -> Adjusting the settings -> Checking the Show Time Zone box will change the time shown to local time.

Following up on this - Is there a way to choose a different font size for the date? It is so tiny I need a magnifying glass to read it, so it is useless to display it.

What date? Can you take a screen shot?

You remember that you can double click the clock to get an Orage calendar, right? (> QuickStart Doc)

I am using the KDE panel clock. I edited the short date format in System Settings -> Local-> Date & Time. When what you want showing is long, it makes the font size smaller to fit in the space. So when I edited the format and choose 1st three charactors of the day and month and no year, it made the date length smaller so the font size could be bigger. I don't know where else short date format is used, so I may get repercussions some where else.
