Dash-to-panel: Missing date and time from the panel

Created on 12 Jul 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: home-sweet-gnome/dash-to-panel

Things to do first

  • Confirm that the problem persists when Dash-to-Panel is the only enabled extension. To do so, disable every other extension, then restart gnome-shell by running the r command from the prompt that appears when pressing Alt+F2 on an X.org session, or by logging out/in on a Wayland session.
  • Look for Dash-to-Panel errors in your log. To do so, run the journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f -o cat & command and reproduce the problem.
  • Search existing opened and closed issues to see if the problem has already been reported.
    Confirm I restarted gnome-shell, disabled all other extensions, and this is what is in the logs when the extension is enabled.

Ok I think I see why now, you're using the Gnome classic session where the clock is in the rightBox instead of the centerBox in a normal Gnome session. We normally don't support the classic session, but since the fix was simple I added it to the master branch. Please install from Github until we can release a maintenance version. Thanks!

Hello jamesiri, gonna need more info as I can't reproduce the issue so far (X.org and Wayland) on an up to date Debian 10. What other extensions do you have enabled? Anything else particular about your setup? Which theme is that? Could you share your dash to panel settings using the About tab?

Here is mine:

Thanks!

Thank you for the prompt response!
I disabled all the other extensions before sending you the above data to ensure that there weren't any other conflicts and the issue persisted. Here is my about page, my dash to panel settings, and my theme settings.

I am not doing anything special and running mostly system defaults. I am happy to pull up specific logs for you if they are helpful, just let me know.

Ah, that was it! Thank you so much and marking as resolved.
