The time in Bratislava when you posted your message was 19:06. Your output shows that timedatctl reports the time as being 19:04. Where is the problem?

That all looks correct.  RTC is set to UTC, timezone is CEST, two hour delta to local time.

From whence comes 4:00pm?  The panel clocks? What is the output of date    ?

Unfortunately, I know nothing about orage and have not use XFCE for about a decade.  The problem is with these programs, not with the underlying clock subsystem.
You may want to update the title to draw the attention of someone familiar with those programs.

Re: [SOLVED]my time suddenyl changed from europian (14:20) to american

Ah, wait, so it's not showing a different delta, it's just showing in 12 hour time rather than 24 hour?  8:50pm was the correct time for your time zone when you posted that.  You just want it to show 20:50, correct?

These are most definitely not European (nor europian) and American, these are just two ways of displaying time, 12 or 24 hour.

What are your locale settings, do you have an LC_TIME setting?  %X uses the locale's default, which for many locale's is a 12 hour clock.  If you explicitly want a 24 hour clock, set an appropriate LC_TIME or instead of %X us %H:%M.  Does `date +%X` also show 12 hour time or 24?

Re: [SOLVED]my time suddenyl changed from europian (14:20) to american

soo the code

date +%X

show 12:16:47 AM

and yes using the %H %M would work but until now i was using way easier %X

and in locale.gen i have set my formats to SK so europe ones

when i locale-gen it shows its my but when i write

locale

it shows en

here is whole locale output

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

also i tried

sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME="sk_SK.UTF-8"

and still command locale have same output

grep ^[^#] /etc/locale.gen

edit:

Re: [SOLVED]my time suddenyl changed from europian (14:20) to american

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="sk_SK.UTF-8" date +%X

localectl is unlikely to affect running shells (but idk for sure)
