[Bug 1256061] Re: clock forcefully switches from 24h to 12h AM/PM format once the panel clock is loaded

 

Did some more digging, and this is not a bug in qtubuntu at all. It was
attributed to that, but in fact qtubuntu was only responsible for the
*correct* time displayed at the beginning.

The indicator label is fully controlled by the indicator, though, and is
always sent in the AM/PM 24h form. Whether it should at all be
responsible for supplying this label is debatable (as opposed to the
shell knowing this is a time label and updating it as needed), but still
- fix for the greeter is attached, while the indicator still needs
fixing.

Title:
  clock forcefully switches from 24h to 12h AM/PM format once the panel
  clock is loaded

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  New
Status in The Unity 8 shell:
  In Progress
Status in “qtubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  i initially had filed a bug against indicator-datetime but after
  checking all environment variables together with seb128 it appears
  there is no reason for this to happen and according to him it must be
  something unity8 or a QT component does to the LC_TIME or other locale
  settings.

  Initially when booting in a german localized install i properly have a
  24h display on teh lock screen ... a few seconds later (as soon as the
  panel clock is loaded) the clock switches to 12h display everywhere in
  the UI until recently that still showed AM/PM ... in one of the latest
  images (r27 and above) the AM/PM display is gone but the clock still
  switches to 12h display.
