Recently, I have noticed the time (bottom left corner) only shows hh:mm (not hh:mm:ss) even though I have configured in the Appearance to show seconds. Does anyone here have a clue how to fix this so that it will show hh:mm:ss, instead of hh:mm only?
I assume you talk about some GUI desktop. Please which Desktop Environment (KDE, Gnome, Xfce, …)?
It is on a KDE.
I right-click on the clock, and select “Digital Clock Settings”
That opens a settings window. There’s a box there, marked as “Show seconds”. I check that box and save the changes. And seconds appear.
I then repeat, and uncheck the box (and save), because I really don’t need to have the seconds showing.
When I first installed LEAP 42.1, I also have that checked and it showed hh:mm:ss. Now, it no longer shows the seconds and only shows hh:mm even though the “Show seconds” has already been checked as mentioned in my OP.
Did you try unchecking it, exiting, re-entering and re-checking it?
What time locale are you using?
There was a bug that prevented the seconds from being shown with certain locales (C e.g.), that was a regression in Plasma 5.5 IIRC.
Should be fixed since Plasma 5.6.4, but we didn’t backport the fix to 42.1.
See here for how to fix it yourself:

If that change helps and you think this warrants an update for 42.1, please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/.
Yes and I did those even with a reboot. The problem still persists and time still show hh:mm without :ss.
I am not quite sure which locale I use. The only thing I know is I use a long format date. I also tried short and/ ISO format to no avail.

My 42.1 is still using Plasma v5.5.5-9.1 and that probably explains why the :ss is missing from the time.

I tried the above fix and the :ss still won’t show up.
What are the settings in “Configure Desktop” (systemsettings5)->Locale->Formats?

You mean in the digital clock settings?
That’s irrelevant in regard to that bug.

At least that version is affected by the bug I’m talking of.

Did you logout/reboot?
That fix definitely works, and I am not aware of a different bug with such an effect.
I could not find system setting5 under my KDE desktop “Configure Desktop”. All I see is Configure Desktop -> Personalization -> Regional Settings -> [Translations, Formats, Spell Check, Date & Time]

Yes and I meant digital clock where it used to show hh:mm:ss and now only shows hh:mm sans the :ss

You are right. After a reboot, now the digital clock shows hh:mm:ss. Thank you.
“systemsettings5” is the name of the actual program file.
Type this into a konsole to run it.
It is not listed in “Configure Desktop”, it is "Configure Desktop.
All I see is Configure Desktop -> Personalization -> Regional Settings -> [Translations, Formats, Spell Check, Date & Time]
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean, in particular Configure Desktop -> Personalization -> Regional Settings -> Formats.
My desktop is in german, so I don’t have the exact english words in front of me.

Ok, as I wrote, you may file a bug report at http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/ to get an update for 42.1 with this fix.
It will of course be fixed in 42.2 anyway.
