No, I installed Version 5.8 fresh ... with a new ROM.

stevef:
Those settings match the ones the GUI shows but can't change.  I don't know how (or even if) the datetime GUI uses this file.   The system appears to update this file at ten minute intervals.

Did you upgrade from 5.2 to 5.8 using the Linux Lite menu ?  I don't recall any issues with settings getting changed when doing it this way.

--- Code: ---cat ~/.config/xfce4/panel/datetime-7.rc

--- Code: ---cat ~/.config/xfce4/panel/datetime-7.rc
layout=0
date_font=Bitstream Vera Sans 8
time_font=Sans Bold 24
date_format=%d %b %Y
time_format=%H:%M

--- End code ---

stevef:
I think the relevant file is 'datetime-7.rc' which is listed and has today date and recent time.  I can't see why your GUI would not be able to make changes to it.

Can you post the contents of this file by running.


--- Code: ---cat ~/.config/xfce4/panel/datetime-7.rc
--- End code ---

Please post the results as text rather than an image, it makes it easier to follow.  Select the text in the terminal window, right click and then copy.  When replying select the code tags (the # icon in the rows above where you type your reply).  This should add the words 'code' and '/code' in square brackets to your reply.  Paste your terminal text between the ']' and '[' so it is enclosed by the tags.

--- Code: ---ls -al ~/.config/xfce4/panel/
--- End code ---

The output should show be a list of some set up files xfce uses.  Please post the result back.

Yes, I can. Please see attached screenshot.

I had Linux Lite 5.2 installed before - on the same machine I use now with Linux Lite 5.8. In this version, everything worked fine; I could change the font size of the date. (Also German language.)

By the way: I love Linux Lite!  :D It's a great little system!
