From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently, i am searching graphical date and time settings programs other than gnome-system-tools for my custom desktop environment. Does anybody know graphical date and time settings programs other than gnome-system-tools?

I know of a small application, that's part of a larger suite if you want it. It's called CoreTime.

It's Qt based, but the dependency list is quite small.

CoreTime doesn't seem to be an alternative to gnome-system-tools

You asked for a graphical date and time settings app to use instead of gnome-system-tools. You didn't mention that you needed the other functionality from gnome-system-tools whatever that may be..

I assume you mean the date and time settings page. This is KDE's one:

Can you explain the specific functionality that you’re looking for…? I don’t understand your objection here.

I am looking for graphical programs to set the system date and time to replace gnome-system-tools

[–] fatur0000new@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

No, what I mean is the date and time settings program. Not date and time settings page

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

used to be one in rhel.. system-config-date or something like that.

[–] fatur0000new@lemmy.ml 1 points 51 minutes ago

system-config-date is what I am looking for! Is this still actively developed?

I can't think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn't find one).
If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie...) it will have a built in function in it's settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).
If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don't have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don't want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.

I'm fine with gnome-system-tools. I just want a program that is dedicated to system date and time settings because gnome-system-tools has 3 functions, namely user and group, date and time and samba
