[solved] Awesome wm - time format error

Hi,

I was able to configure Awesome with one exception: when I change the time format from %H to %l (lower case L in /usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/widget/textclock.lua file) I get an error

"bad argument #1 to 'date' (invalid conversion specifier '%l:%M ' )". 

Any idea?

Thanks.

Also don't change the format in the library itself, pass the format as the first argument to awful.widget.textclock in your rc.lua

Thanks. Also, as I see there is not time format for 12-hour clock without a leading zero (i.e. 5:01 instead of 05:01)?
