How do I add multiple clocks with different time zones in Ubuntu 19.10.

Solution:

  • Install clock using sudo apt install gnome-clocks
  • Open Clock app and add required timezones
  • Restart the PC

Important: Do not install using snap or using software installer, this have permission issue to clock and multiple timezones won't appear.

    See this answer in particular: https://askubuntu.com/a/436474/480481 You can install gnome-clocks by running sudo apt install gnome-clocks. – pomsky Oct 25 '17 at 12:57
  • I used to add multiple clocks as described in this link. All these settings gone? Only option is to add app? https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-display-time-from-multiple-cities-in-ubuntu/ – yottabrain Oct 25 '17 at 13:09
  • Tip from the link is not working because Ubuntu 17.10 is shipped with GNOME shell instead of Unity like before. It's like a new world! Of course I cannot claim it's the only solution, but it's an easy and kinda "official" solution. – pomsky Oct 25 '17 at 13:42
  • Got it... Thanks for the information... I just tried, unfortunately it doesn't have any quick access from top bar. I have to open the app every time to see the time for other timezones :-( Am I missing something? May be I should try different clock. – yottabrain Oct 25 '17 at 15:02
  • You don't have to open the app to see the times, if you click on the clock indicator or press + the drop-down tray will open there it should list all the times from different zones, something like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/f9Awk.png – pomsky Oct 25 '17 at 22:23

See this answer to my proposed duplicate. You can achieve this using gnome-clocks.

To install it open Terminal and run

sudo apt install gnome-clocks

Once installed,

  1. Search for "Clocks" in Activities overview and launch it.
  2. Set a new world clock (or clocks) by clicking on "New".
  3. Logout and login again.

You should see the added clock(s) in the drop-down dialogue after clicking on the clock in the top bar. Alternatively you may press super + M to open/close the dialogue.
