System clock does not working [Solved]

[Sybelius]

Hi All,

I am experiencing a new problem: clicking on System / System clock, it is not working; just asking me password, nothing after that.
How can set the clock ?
( Just looking for help coming from peoples happy to help; I know that easily newbies making questions disturbing experienced peoples.
If somebody gets bored about that frequent questions of mine, just does not reply me. Thank you). Ciao

Try to launch

Code: Select all

gtkclocksetup

from a root terminal. Any errors?

In any case, you can use the cli tool:

Code: Select all

clocksetup

Hi Gapan,

Thank You for your kind help; I have been launching the command "gtkclocksetup" and the first time I got error. So, I have been launching "clocksetup" and I have been able to set up the clock.
After that, I have been launching again "gtkclocksetup" and I get open the window "Date and time settings"; the terminal shows this output:

Code: Select all

root[dominum]# gtkclocksetup
Starting the ntpd service
The ntpd is already running with pid: 3417
root[dominum]# 

The issue looks solved, but if I want use "Salix / System / System clock" it does not working.

Ciao

This is weird. What error did you get the first time you tried to launch gtkclocksetup? And can you try to run clocksetup-launch from a root terminal?

Hi Gapan,

I am sorry, but I dont remember that error's message, I did not save, thinking to get it every time.
Running "clocksetup-launch" I get the window "Date and time settings" as running "gtkclocksetup". Ciao

Before was wrong that wishing to use "Salix / System / System clock" it does not working.
Now, before to answer you, I have been clicking on the "line" again and, it works....
Sorry, I dont understand Ciao

Thank you! It has been fixed in version 0.9.9.1 already in the repositories for 13.0. And in salixtools-gtk-1.0.5 in current too.

So, was a bug

Well, I have been adding some repositories (those on default dont showing me version 0.9.9.1); now I got even the icon (which was absent) on Salix / System / System clock.

Cheers !
