Version: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)) (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Every clock applet that should show a text with the time, (digital, fuzzy) shows nothing, just some blank space. And the analog clock is always at 00:00. The system's cock is working properly and from the control panel, where i select the format of date and time, i can see the correct time.
hmm, seems some kind of binary incompatibility with the data engine. probably a recompile of the whole kde is needed. can you try it and see if the problem persists?
yes, this will happen if the engine doesn't load; which implies the engine isn't loading. which implies a broken install. as marco says, please rebuilt the time engine in kdebase.
Hem... I've installed from the unofficial repository kde42.debian.net, i didn't compile it. So all i can do now is send this bugreport to them.
Hem.. i've found out that if i login and insert a clock, it works. But if i remove it and insert it again it doesn't. It works only the 1st time i insert it. The thing i was doing was: 1: add to the desktop 2: oh it works 3: remove from desktop 4: add to the bar 5: oh it doesn't work 6: try again and again But if i logout, something is reset and it works.
can't reproduce with the given steps. removed all my clocks, add a new one after the last was removed, still works. try `plasmoidviewer digital-clock` from a konsole window and see if that works; if it doesn't provide the output you see on the konsole. if it does work... from a konsole window quit plasma: kquitapp plasma. then start it again and see what output you get on the konsole when you add a non-functional clock.
From the viewer the applet works. I've tried twice and it works. This is the output i have when i add a new clock (that doesn't work): plasma(22411)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 27) plasma(22411)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma(22411)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 27) plasma(22411)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) QGraphicsLayout::addChildLayout: layout already has a parent QGraphicsLayout::addChildLayout: layout already has a parent
I have the same problem. In my setup I have two digital clocks (one clock per panel, one panel per monitor, two monitors), and after installing KDE 4.1.96 from the gentoo ebuilds both was just blank space. I tried `plasmoidviewer digital-clock` and it worked. Multipple times. Until I changed the settings. Then it adjusted to the new settins but stopped ticking (never changed the displayed time for several minutes). Restarting the application would result in just black space. Removing ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmoidviewer-appletsrc would make it work again. Until I changed the settings... So I got an idea, exited plasma (`kquitapp plasma`) and remove the [Containments][XX][Applets][XX][Configuration] entries refering to my digital clocks in ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc and restarted plasma. Didn't quite work as I had hoped though, one of the clocks show the time (though not configured as I'd like it ofcourse) and the other one is blank. Whether or not `plasmoidviewer digital-clock` works as expected or not the output is identical (exept for the pid ofcourse): $ plasmoidviewer digital-clock plasmoidviewer(31622)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 27) plasmoidviewer(31622)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasmoidviewer(31622)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 27) plasmoidviewer(31622)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) QGraphicsLayout::addChildLayout: layout already has a parent QGraphicsLayout::addChildLayout: layout already has a parent
Same problem for me. I have 2 clock configured. A digital clock (the standard one, I think, with date and time zone) in the bottom panel. A have a analogue clock on the right side. They were both working fine on 4.1.87. After installing 4.1.96 the clock stop ticking... The analogue is still visible but all fingers (including the one for seconds) are pointing to 12:00 hours. The digital on the bottom panel is not visible, but the context menu pops up when I ask for it. I removed plasma-appletsrc, which was created new upon login. Still no joy, the clock is not counting :( This is with opensuse rpms.
Guess it is not just a wrong compiling if it happens on different distro
> Guess it is not just a wrong compiling if it happens on different distro both OpenSuse and Kubuntu managed to forget to include the rss engine in their packages, breaking RSSNow and News. so ... it's not exactly a firm way to tell if it's a packaging issue or not. this, however is interesting: "Removing ~/.kde4/share/config/plasmoidviewer-appletsrc would make it work again. Until I changed the settings..." could you attach a copy of plasmoidviewer-appletsrc that *doesn't* work? thanks.

Created attachment 30374 [details] /home/jon/.kde4.2/share/config/plasmoidviewer-appletsrc Attatching a non-working plasmoidviewer-appletsrc. Note that it contains the default settings, all I did to create it was open the settings dialog and click on "OK".
Perhaps is has to do with the widget-style? I don't see the clock e.g., but my son, on the same computer, uses a different theme and he has one, and it is ticking fine.
I've tried with all my themes. No results...
defaultTimezone=Lokal <-- yeah, that's not going to work. this is obviously due to the recent i18n changes in the config dialog. grr.

>defaultTimezone=Lokal <-- yeah, that's not going to work. >this is obviously due to the recent i18n changes in the config dialog. grr. I changed this locally and this made the digital in the bottom panel work again, yeah :) But the analogue one, is still pointing at 12:00 hours :( I logged in and out again. I removed the analogue clock which is in my case located in an automatically hiding right panel, and added it back again. It does not help. It also does not work when I add the clock to the "desktop"/background. I hope that this one can be fixed too.
