It is a fresh installation. I tried a standard widget and an extra one (so called better inline clock), but both failed to show time. The standard widget is just an invisible box, whereas the better inline clock is a black box.
KDE Plasma desktop 5.20.5-r1
KDE Frameworks 5.80.0
Qt 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2)
How to fix that?

Have you set your timezone correctly?
Mine did this once because I had forgotten to set the timezone.

If using systemd:
Code:
 ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/(your-timezone) /etc/localtime


If using OpenRC:
Code:
 echo "your-timezone" >> /etc/timezone


Then:
Code:
 emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data



Note: "your-timezone" must be the correct timezone for your region.


After you do this, all clocks on Plasma should appear instantly.
