I'm at my wits' end. Using Xubuntu 16.04 and all I want is getting the correct time displayed in my top right corner.

But no matter what I do, I keep getting it wrong. I have tried both 'Datetime' and 'Orage Panel Clock', without any success. The system is configured to timezone 'Europe/Berlin' and it updates via NTP (tried others in the same zone, e.g. Europe/Amsterdam and Europe/Copenhagen'), nothing seems to work though.

I have tried individually changing the timezones for Orage and Datetime, uninstalling & reinstalling both, reinstalling NTP, but nothing changes.

I've got a parallel installation of Windows 8.1 for Photoshop and the occasional game; the time is displayed correctly there.

Any ideas before I go completely crazy? Screenshot here:

I had the same problem in Xubuntu 19.10.

Try this:

  1. Right-click on "Time panel", select Panel -> Panel Settings...

  2. Show window Panel Settings, select bookmark "Items", in this menu select Time.

  3. Double-click to "Time" or select "Time" and click the gear icon to show new window Time.

  4. In this window is a "Local Time" textbox.

  5. I am from Czech Republic and my time in Time panel is the same as your - wrong time (local time -1 hour).

  6. I incorrectly write to textbox "Local Time" only "Prague".

  7. I fix this text to "Europe/Prague" and now, on "Time panel" it shows the right value for time.
