How do I get the clock to show the date?

Question

I tried what was mentioned here to no avail. When I update the values in gconf (any of the values, not just custom and custom_format) nothing changes. Is this a netbook edition problem? Is there another clock that I should be looking for, where the changes actually are happening? I only see one clock in the panel. Thanks.

Answer 1

In 10.10 the tools have been changed to dconf. First install dconf-tools

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

then run dconf-editor

Then navigate to apps -> indicators -> datetime and then check the "show-date" checkbox.

Answer 2

there is even a more simple answer to it. Right click on the clock, and click preferences. Just check show the date.
