[Bug 1787297] Re: Clock : incorrect date format in panel

 

The format you are complaining about is American NOT English. I have
noticed the same problem, running Gnome Flashback under Ubuntu 18.04,
today. System settings show the correct English regional format (eg Thu
12 Dec 2019 18:29:30) but, in the indicator, I get Thu Dec 12 2019
18:29:30. Extremely annoying.

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime custom-time-format "%a %d
%b %Y  %H:%M:%S"

has no effect nor can I find an appropriate valid string to enter in
locations.

Is this now being handled elsewhere?

Title:
  Clock : incorrect date format in panel

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Here is Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity session ( I know… )

  System language and regional settings are set to French.

  In regional setting the date reads

  day number month year hour minute…

  which is correct for French.

  But the clock in the Unity panel reads

  day month number year hour minute…

  which looks more English than French order.

  Any config file I might edit to make my clock « more French » ?
