After installing that distros I wanted to adjust or set time, not the apparence or graphics settings of the clock, but the actual time. How to enter 18:20 hrs to the computer ? Regarding date and year, seems the computer has found it in the BIOS .

Unfortunately Bodhi has no native GUI for setting time. There is an app called swami-control you can install though.
As ahen mentioned, one method is use command line. I also recommend installing ntp package. It will set your time automatically...

Hi, thanks for helping. "swami-control" as a package don't exist on debian or Ubuntu. "swami" is a package for midi music. "ntp" is OK.

Searching with Bodhi Appcenter there is no "swami-control" , not even "swami" alone. This is for 32 bits Bodhi 5.1.0, maybe that package exists for 64 bits.

That above screenshot was bodhi legacy 32bit 5.1; I'm surprised it's not in bodhi appcenter actually, but either way, app center is just a small subset of applications available to us. If you want to search everything, use 'synaptic package manager' which is in your menu under applications/system or maybe preferences.
Or go to terminal and use `apt` itself. If
sudo apt install swami-control doesn't work, it makes me think even more there's something wrong with bodhi legacy repos that people keep reporting issues from. If that doesnt work I'd be curios to see result of
sudo apt install moksha-module-mem cuz if that fails too, it's same problem couple others have reported and solution is adding bodhi repo to /etc/apt/sources.list but it's weird that its disappearing for multiple people during update....

I installed swami-control and it works. It was downloaded from the above link then I opened synaptic with File -->> Install downloaded packages. Synaptic found 2 dependancies and everything was installed no problem. In the menu under Settings I found the swami panel. This seems useful for configuring other devices like keyboard and time zone. As such it should come as standard in Bodhi Linux. Also ntp has been installed (should also be standard}.
