Cron job: Show two hour digits instead of only one ...

[Sopor]

In the cron job i have a column called Run at times that will show when the next run will be.

In Sweden we have 24H and when we write the time we always use two hour digits even if the hour is between 0 and 9.

So if you can see here it will only show one digit as it was 12H:

Is it possible to make it show 04:00, 03:10 and so on?

[jcameron]

Sure, we'll do this in the next release...

[Sopor]

If i open the cron job it do look like this:

Why does it show two hour digits here and AM? How do i change it to show 24H?

[iliajie]

Why does it show two hour digits here and AM? How do i change it to show 24H?

You can change it here:

[Sopor]

As you can see above it use mm/dd/yy but this is what i have selected:

I use global dates format.

[iliajie]

You should install deb or rpm package to install dependencies, rather than installing Webmin manually.

[Sopor]

I will only point out that if i change something in the Change Language and Theme and i leave without clicking on Make changes it will not tell me that i have made any changes to the page.

I have always follow the instructions and that is to add jcameron-key.asc and install it.

If there are other ways to do it, I have no idea ...

[iliajie]

I have always follow the instructions and that is to add jcameron-key.asc and install it.

Please check these instructions: https://webmin.com/download/

[Sopor]

Please check these instructions: https://webmin.com/download/

That is something i never have seen. Must be something new ...

And i already have Webmin installed.

[iliajie]

OS?

[Sopor]

Debian Linux 11 (DietPi) and Ubuntu Linux 22.04.2.

That Webmin page did not looked like that the last time i was there, but it was a couple of years ago.
This is how it looked:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230105071228/https://www.webmin.com
And those news are from November last year, so the site must have been changed a lot.

This is how i install Webmin:

Try installing locale-related Perl dependencies:

apt-get install libdatetime-perl libdatetime-timezone-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libtime-piece-perl

[Sopor]

All the above Perl dependencies was already installed.

$ sudo apt install libdatetime-perl libdatetime-timezone-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libtime-piece-perl

I have now updated to Webmin 2.100 and it seems that you have removed the date format from Change Language and Theme and replaced it with Locale.

It seems that the hour now have two digits, but it will still show 12H and not 24H even after i changed Locale to Swedish.

The Language i use is still English.

[iliajie]

It seems that the hour now have two digits, but it will still show 12H and not 24H even after i changed Locale to Swedish.

Well, now I see the bug that's causing it. You can update theme to the latest development version from theme configuration page to have it fixed. Give it a try.

[Sopor]

I'm now running AT 21.02, but i still get 12H.

I tried to cleared the cache too, but no luck 😥

[iliajie]

I'm now running AT 21.02, but i still get 12H.

I'm pretty sure it should work! Try incognito tab to make sure that cache isn't in the way.

Also, make sure that you set the correct locale for the user. If it doesn't work, provide screenshots for locale select and the dashboard ..

[Sopor]

After changing Global locale to Swedish, it is working, but i did that in the Webmin language and locale

And now it look like this in Change language and locale and I still have Personal choice enabled

You can see below it is working now, but something isn't right because it will only work when i change Global locale language

[iliajie]

I'm pretty sure it also works with local locale settings too! At least it works for me in all tests.

[Sopor]

I did have some custom date/time before that you helped me to add, but it seems that you have removed it or should i say, i can't find it.

Could that be the reason it is not working now?

[iliajie]

Could you remind me what was that exactly?

[Sopor]

It must have been #667

[iliajie]

It must have been #667

Yeah, changing format for dates may have an effect.

Try running in the browser's console:

config_portable_theme_locale_format_full = 'LLLL';
config_portable_theme_locale_format_long = 'LL';
config_portable_theme_locale_format_short = 'L';
config_portable_theme_locale_format_time = 'LT';
theme.config.save();

[Sopor]

Now it got even worse.

Now it has changed to 12H or the dashboard too:

I even tried to change it to Global locale and back again to Swedish, but it was still 12H.

I have cleared the cache and tried Private window, but it doesn't help. 😥

[iliajie]

Is there a way I could remotely login to that system and have a look?

[iliajie]

By the way, the latest theme version is 21.03.

[Sopor]

No difference after update to 21.03

[Sopor]

I have three Webmin's and one of them don't have locale to choose from. Only date format.

Do you know why?

It is the same version of Webmin and AT as the other two:

[iliajie]

Do you know why?

You need to install dependencies:

apt-get install libdatetime-perl libdatetime-timezone-perl libdatetime-locale-perl libtime-piece-perl

It seems that there was a lot of them missing 😁

[Sopor]

I wanted to see if all three Webmin's have the same behaviours and they do. They all show 12H when changing to Locale Sverige when i select that in the Personal choice. It will only work if i change the Global locale.

[Sopor]

Something that is a bit weird is, that even if i have selected Personal choice it will change to 24H when i change Global locale to Sverige:

[iliajie]

I'm glad it works for you. I have run more tests on Debian 12 with all the latest patches applied and it worked for me in both user-defined and global mode .. I am not sure what was happening on your side ..

[Sopor]

No, it is not working. I need to change the Global locale for it to work.

Why did you add Personal choice when it is not working?

[iliajie]

Why did you add Personal choice when it is not working?

Sadly it works for me on all systems I tried/tested.

If you open browser console and run session.server.data('locale') .. what output do you get?

[Sopor]

15:18:07.873 session.server.data('locale')
15:18:07.897 "sv-SE"

[iliajie]

15:18:07.897 "sv-SE"

That just has to work then! I really don't know why it's not working for you .. Sorry .. Does this happen for you on all systems you tried? Is this Debian 11?

[Sopor]

If i change Global locale to English, but keep Personal choice to Sverige i get this:

15:19:56.028 session.server.data('locale')
15:19:56.047 "en" 

[Sopor]

Two are running Debian 11 and one is running Ubuntu Linux 22.04.2.

[Sopor]

Something i noticed in the cron job is that the time is showing 24H but the date is not correct:

I have switched back to Global locale: English and Personal choice: Sverige

[iliajie]

Can you show the screenshot of configuration page, e.g. this is what I get with global set to English and local to Swedish:

[Sopor]

[iliajie]

What browser is this exactly, and which version and on which OS?

[Sopor]

I'm running Firefox 105.0.2 on Windows 10 22H2 x64, but i did a test in Chrome and it was no difference. 🙁

[iliajie]

Yet, it still works for me immaculately! I really don't understand what's happening on your side.

What is the out put of the following command on your system?

grep locale /etc/webmin/config

[Sopor]

$ grep locale /etc/webmin/config
locale=en
locale_root=sv-SE

[iliajie]

Do you have Use language specified by browser? enabled by any chance in Webmin ⇾ Webmin Configuration: Language and Locale page?

[Sopor]

[iliajie]

I'm sorry that I cannot help you with solving this issue! I don't know what's wrong. It simply works for me on literally all ten different machines I have tried.

Send me via email your /etc/webmin config directory. I will try to reproduce this issue using all your configs.

[Sopor]

Are you logged in as root or with a user that has sudo privileges?

[iliajie]

Alright, now I see the bug!

Discussion related to this issue is also here webmin/webmin@407ce7e.

[iliajie]

@Sopor This bug was fixed in the latest Webmin nightly version.

Although, @jcameron I'm surprised that root-capable user cannot have its own specific theme, language and locale set. It doesn't seem right. I'm not sure why this is like this, as it doesn't seem hard to implement. I was going to do it now but decided that it would be better to postpone it. Should I add this to my todo to the next Webmin release (after 2.101)?
