I went to adjust the time and under System, and it's not listed. How do I add time and date settings in Xfce?

Re: How to add Time and Date settings in Xfce

when I go to Applications > System > it is not listed on the menu.
shouldn't there be an Adjust date and time option? How else do you adjust the time?

OK but there should be and option in systems to make adjustments to the time? it's in every other distro I've used with Xfce.

I should be able to right click on the time and see the option to adjust the clock, it's greyed out.

I think what you're thinking of may be part of gnome-system-tools, which includes a program that provides a frontend to date. Have you tried installing that?

I thought it was part of Xfce, may it is part of Gnome.

The command: # date --set="Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:34:56 -0600"
with the correct time and zone worked fine. At least I know to use that in the future.

Thanks.

You'll experience more of that Archlinux is what you make it.

You can also set the hardware clock and synchronize system time with it using the following commands:

hwclock --set --date="7/18/09 19:23:00"

hwclock --hctosys

Re: How to add Time and Date settings in Xfce

I have this exact same problem. How can I get the GUI functionality - just like it's present in the Ubuntu XFCE?
