[Bug 1196059] Re: Unsupported date format

 

I found that this did not work, even with the fixed package, like the
commenter in comment #7. I did manage to get it working:

I noticed that my LANGUAGE environment variable had "en" in it twice,
e.g.: LANAGUAGE="en<newline>en". I thought that was a bit odd. This was
only present when I logged in via the GUI -- it was not present if I
logged in on a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1 then log in).

In the System Settings -> Language Support, I noticed that "English" was
the highest priority language in the Language tab, but Regional Formats
tab had "English (United Kingdom)". I put "English (United Kingdom)" at
the top of the list in the Languages tab, click Apply System Wide. This
seemed to resolve it for me.

I think something odd happens when you have a different primary locale
for the Language and Regional Settings tab.

Once I made those changes, I could set the date & time indicator to
include the day of the week, date and month without any errors. That did
not work before.
