[Bug 1449794] Re: Week day and Date & Month not working on menu bar on upgrade to 14.10
For the first question:
Ahh. The locale setting does make a difference. I normally have
/etc/default/locale set as:
LANG="C"
If I set it to:
LANG="en_US.utf8"
it solves this problem, but .... I set it to "C" on purpose, as I don't
care for the sort sequences (for instance of an "ls -l" command) if it
is set to "en_US.utf8" -- it intersperses lowercase & uppercase and "/."
files according to the first alphabetical character in the file name w/o
regard to the case. The collating sequence of "C" seems more sensible
to me.
For the 2nd question:
No, I cannot do a screenshot. I tried the application "Screenshot", but
the very first line in the screenshot (of the graphical screen), where
the title bar is, it does not show the information that is on the right
side of that line, like: 1) The up/down arrows to get to the networks,
the language setting, the speaker volume, the date/time/etc, the
settings icon. And, it is the date/time displayed right there that I am
talking about.

Title:
Week day and Date & Month not working on menu bar on upgrade to 14.10
Status in Unity:
Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I recently upgraded from 12.04 to 14.10 (had to first upgrade to a
prior 14.?? version first), and then later on to 15.04 (see below). On
the far right-side of the top bar of the graphical screen, I
previously had displayed the date & time, weekday, and date/month
(without clicking on it and it displaying the full calendar). With the
upgrade most of that is now gone and I can only see the time on the
menu bar. If I go into System Settings --> Time & Date -- Clock, I see
that in the "In the clock, show:" grouping of properties "Weekday" and
"Date and month" are unchecked. Towards the top the "Show a clock in
the menu bar" is checked, and I also have "12-hour time" checked.
I want the "Weekday" and "Date and month" checked so that they will
show on the menu bar, but when I check either or both of them, the
clock goes away right then -- that is, it doesn't show the time that
it was showing just moments ago, nor does it display anything about
the date or time. As soon as I uncheck both "Weekday" and "Date and
month" the time will show right back up, with no delay.
I have updated/upgraded/reinstalled indicator-datetime, removed it and
installed it again, "dpkg-reconfigure" the package, each time doing a
"killall unity-panel-service" to restart the service, and even
rebooted some times.
Nothing seems to help -- If one of those 2 settings (or both) are
checked all date/time settings go away on the menu bar.
The above is for my regular login account. I created a "Guest
Session", of which it creates a temporary login in /tmp, and saw that
it deleted it when I logged out of it. It did the same as my normal
log ID did -- that is, only the time showed up on the menu bar, and
when I went to clock settings and changed the "Weekday" / "Date &
Month" settings, the clock disappeared.
I did a fresh install of ubuntu 14.10 on another machine after I did
this upgrade. The fresh install was on a Win computer that I resized
the Win partition on. It does the same thing as the upgrade I talked
about above.
I first posed the above as a question, and no one was able to help me,
and they said I probably should report a bug, but I might want to wait
until 15.04 was released and I upgraded. I have now upgraded to 15.04
on both of my computers, and they still do the same thing.
I have encountered another problem with the "Time & Date Settings". I
have my location set up as "Chicago". I noticed that when you go into
the "Clock" tab, you can set up additional "Locations". I set up an
additional location for "UTC". Both of these times display when you
click on the clock on the top menu bar and it pops up the Calendar.
They display at the bottom. It works fine for most of the time. "UTC"
is (now) 5 hours ahead of "Chicago" time. When "Chicago" time reads
18:59 UTC reads 23.59. "Chicago" clicks over to 19:00 and "UTC"
clicks over to the next day, the "UTC" time then disappears. I take
it that it disappears until "Chicago" time clicks over to the next
day, so that "Chicago" and "UTC" are then on the same day again.
