Can't Access Clock Settings

KitchM · 2022-07-20 21:42:08

I just installed the latest 64-bit OS on Raspberry Pi and then added Xfce as my GUI. Almost everything is working well.

However, the clock will not change to NTP time and I cannot access the root features of the clock in the panel. I used to be able to click on the clock and get a way to log in as root to make changes on another computer, but not on this one.

I could use a little help.

I think you are looking for "time-admin". It should be in a gnome-system-tools package. If installed, the clock plugin will show a button to run that program.

Doesn't it come with Xfce 4.16?

No. It's sometimes packaged by distros to provide that functionality. Its an old gnome tool.

How were users supposed to set the clock otherwise, and make other changes?

Via the tools that the distro provides. Tools like time-admin (or other command line tools). AFAIK, Xfce has never had its own time tool.

Okay, I installed that package and the option was there to login and change the settings. Then the time synced with NTP. As always, thank you for that.

Oh, I see that this is the new 64-bit Raspbian and there are other bugs too. Thanks again.
