Package: xfce4 Version: 4.12.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Debian 9.1 amd64 Xfce panel clock broken Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2017 17:13:55 -0700 From: David Christensen <dpchr...@holgerdanske.com> To: debian-u...@lists.debian.org debian-user: I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with an Intel Core Duo T7400 CPU, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB SSD, and a fresh install of debian-9.1.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso, with all updates and upgrades as of now: 2017-08-09 16:59:07 root@tinkywinky ~ # cat /etc/debian_version 9.1 2017-08-09 16:59:18 root@tinkywinky ~ # uname -a Linux tinkywinky 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 (2017-08-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux 2017-08-09 16:59:22 root@tinkywinky ~ # dpkg-query --show xfce4 xfce4 4.12.3 I would like to use the Xfce panel "clock" item. Unfortunately, it is broken: - If I right-click on the Xfce panel and choose "Panel Preferences...", the "Panel" dialog appears. - Selecting Panel -> Items tab, "Clock" appears in the list of panel items. - If I select Panel -> Items -> Clock and click the "Edit the currently selected item" button, the "Clock" dialog appears. - I then configure Clock as follows: Time Settings Timezone PST8PDT Appearance Layout Digital Tooltip format Wednesday 09 August 2017 Clock Options Format 05:04:55 PM Once I have made the above settings, but before choosing "Close", the current time is displayed at the proper location in the Xfce panel. This is what I want. - But when I click "Close", the current time disappears from the panel -- e.g. Clock breaks. Looking in /var/log and dmesg, I don't see any clues. Any suggestions for figuring out why Clock is broken and how to fix it?
