  • Linux 4.10.0-35-generic
  • Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
  • I use X and TWM

I start xclock with: 

/usr/bin/xclock -digital -twentyfour -update 1 -geometry 230x30-1+1 &

The next day, xclock reverts to twelve hour.

Any ideas?

    +1 I didn't even know such an app exists. Awesomeness. – Parto Sep 26 '17 at 05:04

    From man xclock, we have "-digital or -d :: This option indicates that a 24 hour digital clock should be used." and we also have "-twentyfour :: This option indicates that a digital clock should display the time in twenty-four hour format. This is the default when a digital clock is used." Maybe you don't need to use both at the same time... – Parto Sep 26 '17 at 05:11
  • Are you sure that it reverts to 12 hours the next day? You might not notice any difference until the afternoon. -- Anyway, I will check it in my computer ... – sudodus Sep 26 '17 at 05:23
  • Yes, I am sure it reverts to 12 hour format. It indicates 3...PM in the afternoon! – tomdean1939 Sep 26 '17 at 18:24

    xclock now runs for 48 hours with your command on my machine and doesn't revert to 12-hour format. To file a bug please read How do I report a bug?. – dessert Oct 04 '17 at 09:01
