Re: clock plugin fault?

I believe it was fixed via this bug report. Workaround until the fix hits your repos:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep clock | awk -F'[- ]' '{print $2}')/digital-format -s "%a %b %d, %l:%M%P"

...and change the last section in quotes to reflect the format you want.

there are 2 formats to be configured, the clock as shown on the panel, and the floating message when hovering over the clock.

For the tooltip, try:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep clock | awk -F'[- ]' '{print $2}')/tooltip-format -s "%a %b %d, %l:%M%P"

Re: clock plugin fault?

I have Debian 10 on my main computer.  No problem.  I just installed Debian 10 on a friends laptop.  It has the problem.  Can't seem to fix it.  This would seem to indicate that the problem is not fixed.

Thanks.
