 Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2016 5:40 pm Post subject: KDE Plasma Clock widget does not show date |
 |
|
Hello,
Since a couple of weeks I run KDE Plasma 5.5.5 and Qt-version 5.5.1 on a 4.4.6 kernel.
After this upgrade everything looks alright, except my standard clock widget does not show a date (when selected in the setting menu) anymore.
Between selecting and deselecting, the size of the clock numbers changes. When the date is selected, the numbers are small and a empty space below the clock appears.
So, there is room to print something  .
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
GenHeDi

| Did you try to change clock style settings like font (maybe also bold or italic) or date format? |

| Similar for analog clock - displaying the time zone let the clock itself vanish. |

I did try several other fonts and used bold and/or italic.
No luck so far.
On another machine I use Kubuntu 16.04 LTS, clock and date are shown here without problem.

By the way, I had following upgrade today:
KDE Plasma 5.6.5 KDE-Frameworks 5.23.0 and Qt-version 5.6.1 on a 4.4.6 kernel OS-type 64 bit.

| I would like to help you but I can't reproduce the behavior at all. You have tried to change the size of your panel already, did you? |

I had that problem after an upgrade a month or two ago, found out the the time zone data was corrupted.
Had to delete /etc/localtime and reemerge timezone-data and setup my time zone again.
YMMV

@genstorm: I changed the size of the panel but no improvement.
@thumper: I followed your tip and re-emerged timezone-data and did a "emerge --config timezone-data"
When I "cat /etc/localtime", I see a lot of unreadable stuff.
At the end, also no improvement.
Can someone explain to me how to attach a picture to this post, so you can see how my clock looks like?

Use | Code: | | zdump -v /etc/localtime |
to see the contents.

I wonder if this is a locale problem. What does 'echo $LANG' return on your system? Have you tried setting a different locale as a test to see if the date appears then?
Apparently KDE 4 used its own locale code, while Plasma (KDE) 5 depends on the Qt locale code, which various bug reports indicate has a number of issues and limitations. |

Setting a different locale I have to try.

There is something strange going on:
When I start my computer and login in the commandline (so no X11 or KDE active)
echo $LANG shows nl_NL.iso8859-15@euro
after starting X11 and KDE (startx)
I open xterm and then echo $LANG shows nl_NL.US-ASCII 
when I do
| Code: | | source /etc/profile |
then echo $LANG shows nl_NL.iso8859-15@euro again
I'm a little confused now.
Is it ment to work this way?

Unfortunately I'm not a locale expert. I have the basic U.S. English setup:
| Code: |
~ $ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
|
However, I get the same results both on the command line in a VT and in a KDE Konsole window. The fact that you get different results might be because you and/or KDE have set up a slightly different locale environment than the one set up in the base system (ie 'Applications-->Settings-->System Settings-->Regional Settings' is different from what 'eselect locale' provides.)
I would try using 'eselect locale' to switch back to a basic C or POSIX locale and set up KDE to match. If you now get a date field showing in the KDE (oops...Plasma) clock, then your issue is probably either a misconfiguration of the locale in KDE or a bug in the Qt libraries for your specific locale. If it is a configuration issue, perhaps this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide will help. |

I went to C by using eselect. After that I put KDE/Plasma also to C. After a reboot, still no date in mij digital clock.

Strange. I have no idea then what could be causing that problem on your system. My plasma clock at this moment shows the time and date just fine:
11:21AM
2016-09-02
This may be a question you'll have to take to the KDE forum: http://forum.kde.org |

Out of curiosity I rummaged around the config files looking for clues, found a file that contains a property listed as showDate, should not hurt to look into it, could get lucky.
| Code: | | $ cat ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc | grep showDate |
Mine revealed two entries:
| Code: | showDate=true
showDate=true |
You could edit the file if it shows otherwise, or back it up and delete it, but you would probably have to re setup what ever it actually relates to.
Best of luck.

Hello thumper,
I had a look around. The file you mentioned is present, although a slightly different name:
| Code: | cat plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc | grep showDate
showDate=true |
I copied the section with the showDate:
| Code: | [Containments][1][Applets][6][Configuration][Appearance]
dateFormat=isoDate
lastSelectedTimezone=Europe/Amsterdam
selectedTimeZones=Europe/Amsterdam
showDate=true
showWeekNumbers=true
use24hFormat=2 |
Today, during a emerge update, I noticed that emerge is complaining about an unsupported locale setting
| Code: | emerge -avuDN @world
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Nothing to merge; quitting. |
For clarity, this emerge is carried out after a complete update. Therefore, there are no updates
Unfortunately I can not confirm since when this message occurs.

have you edited /etc/locale.gen
and run locale-get to generate your locales?
and in /etc/portage/make.conf there is apparently two variables to set, my make.conf contains:
| Code: | LINGUAS="en en_US"
L10N="en en_US" |

Hello thumper,
Yes I edited /etc/locale.gen (added last two lines ):
| Code: | #en_US ISO-8859-1
#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
#ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
#ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
#ja_JP EUC-JP
#en_HK ISO-8859-1
#en_PH ISO-8859-1
#de_DE ISO-8859-1
#de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
#es_MX ISO-8859-1
#fa_IR UTF-8
#fr_FR ISO-8859-1
#fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15
#it_IT ISO-8859-1
nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15
nl_NL UTF-8 |
I did run locale-gen
My /etc/portage/make.conf contains:
| Code: | LINGUAS="nl"
L10N="nl" |
The remark during emerge still apears.

I could be wrong, but I think that in your case
should be in the make.conf also.

Notice the contents of /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED are as follows:

nl_BE@euro ISO-8859-15

I notice that you currently have the following:
| Code: | nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15
nl_NL UTF-8 |
i.e. you are missing the second "UTF-8". So edit /etc/locale.gen to contain the following, then re-run locale-gen:
| Code: | nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15
nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8 |

Hello Fitzcarraldo
in my case:
| Code: | grep -i nl /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
fy_NL UTF-8
li_NL UTF-8
nds_NL UTF-8
nl_AW UTF-8
nl_BE.UTF-8 UTF-8
nl_BE ISO-8859-1
nl_BE@euro ISO-8859-15
nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8
nl_NL ISO-8859-1
nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15 |
I modified /etc/locale.gen to:
| Code: | #en_US ISO-8859-1
#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
#ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
#ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
#ja_JP EUC-JP
#en_HK ISO-8859-1
#en_PH ISO-8859-1
#de_DE ISO-8859-1
#de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
#es_MX ISO-8859-1
#fa_IR UTF-8
#fr_FR ISO-8859-1
#fr_FR@euro ISO-8859-15
#it_IT ISO-8859-1
nl_NL@euro ISO-8859-15
nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
Then I re-run locale-gen and after that I did a restart of the compute.
unfortunately the error still exists:
| Code: | emerge -avuDN @world
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
