I have Fedora 15, with gnome and KDE core because I want to use Dolphin. The language of the OS is English so it shows dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. How can I get it to show dd/mm/yyyy or another format?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI set my location, but Debian displays DATE in some messed format. I would expect such neat OS to recognize all those local settings based on my location, but that's not the case. It seems that Debian follows locale settings by set language (which is en_us in my case, as I guess in majority uses) or this format is default in any case
I would like to set date/time to DD.MM.YY. hh:mm:ss, and programs that display date data to follow this setting. Simply put, in Windows there is Control Panel and you set location, then OS uses some regional settings, like currency, separators, date/time format.
In the past, I just edited the /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js file to alter the date and time format. Today when I tried that, it crashed GNOME Shell and wouldn't let it start..
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, thunderbird uses some random order for the date elements, e.g. MM/DD/YY. I need to change it to YYYY/MM/DD but haven't found where! There is no option in TB to configure this so I guess it just picks some default from regional settings? Where do I need to go to set the date format to its logical form?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using kde 4.4.4 and thunderbird. I would like to change how thunderbird shows the date. Now it is shown as 12.31.1980 and I would like to use 31.12.1980.
I am not sure if this is a thunderbird option (didnt find any) or a gtk option and how to configure that using kde.
I could find nothing on it. I want to change the date format for the clock in the upper right corner of the screen so that instead of reading [Wed 28 Apr, 11:51 AM] I will say [Wed 11:51 AM].
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe date displayed in my panel is in the American format: Sat Jun 12, but my locale is set to Australian for everything. I have tried switching to different regions (System->Administration->Language Support), but this appears to have no effect on the date format.

In KWrite, you can make a datestamp and timestamp by pressing F7 for a command line and typing "date" therein. I just wondered: is it possible to change the stamp's date/time format, which is mm/dd/yy 24-hour time format? That's fine, but I wish the stamp could include the day of the week. (I use KWrite to keep a text-only personal journal. Any suggestions that I use a different program are welcome but are beside the point.)
I looked through the editor settings options, but found nothing relevant. The settings don't mention the F7 command line and the datestamp/timestamp at all; the only reason I know is because I once asked if there was a way to make one, as in Windows Notepad.
I'm having an US American date format that drives me totally nuts, like MM/DD/YY. Today is 1/13/15. It seems to appear across the system (GNOME 3), from Skype to IceDove to Nautilus. So my hope is there is a central instance where I can change this. I would prefer to have 13-Jan-15 or 13-Jan-2015 or at the very least 13/01/2015, i.e. in some order consistent with my European brain.

How do I change the date format so that it's- Month-Day-Year?
I want this changed system wide so all dates are shown in the format I want.
Just updated to natty last night, still coming to grips with Unity, but the date format for Sydney Australia shows as Year-Month-Day instead of Day-Month-Year, tried changing it manually, but it just changes it's self back to what it was. Still coming to grips with the launcher, but do not like the black back ground used in the dash, would like to be able to change it. Would also like to make the icons in the launcher smaller than 32.

After installing Evolution, the date format for entering birthdays was MDY. I edited the preferences and see under contacts it was set to "Use locale default" (which it identifies correctly, but should therefore have been using DMY).
I changed the format to a preset item in the drop-down selection to force it to %d.%m.%y %H:%M:%S which didn't change the birthday field behaviour. Have done the same in Calendar and Tasks, still no change.
if/where you can change the date format for the Birthday field in contacts in Evolution?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got some documents scanned today and had them put in a USB drive. The shopkeeper informed me that it has a virus, yet he transferred the files onto the USB drive. When I put it into my computer ten minutes later, the drive was not getting mounted. I read up and tried installing usbmount. After installing that, I managed to mount the drive. However, the drive was read-only on Ubuntu. On Windows, I found a virus and tried unsuccessfully to delete it (read-only). I tried again on Ubuntu, but didn't manage to delete the infected file (ReCyCleR/sEtuP.exe). I have now backed up all the files on the disk (except, obviously, the ReCyCleR directory). When I try to format the drive using gParted, I get:

Below is results from attempt at formatting my hard drive. As you can see a driver is installed, but not working. Perhaps something is missing? Seems a bit odd that a "unable to read" comes back when disk data is reported. The drive just went through a low level format. BTW this is a fiber channel drive. Also on board are 5 scsi drives. Adaptec raid card. Not sure if that would have any relevance, but there you are.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got some trouble trying to format a SD card. I tried to format it in the GUI and the terminal, but couldn't make it. I couldn't even copy or move any file to the directory in the SD card, even logged as root.
It's a SD card from a digital camera. When I insert it in the camera, it says the card is blocked, so that it's not possible to take any picture.
I tried using "fdisk" to set a new fyle system in it, and tried "mkdosfs" trying to format it under the current file system.
Is there a Linux command, or a series of commands, which will allow me to get the permissions of a file in "0644" format?

Frankly -d still boggles. I'd like to think there IS a correct format or formats, else why would they carry it forward in a coreutil command from (whenever it was first written) to the latest updates for the several distros?
Or is it so obvious I can't see the forest for the smell of the trees?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to reformat a 16GB MicroSD card in my camera when the battery died mid-way. After that, any time I try to read the card in my camera, it gives me a "Card Error" and does not allow me to reformat it in my camera.
So, I thought I would plug the camera in to the laptop with it set to host the card as media when plugged in as USB, in an attempt to fix the formatting issue.
However, when I plug it in to my linux machine, it does not register as a device (e.g., /dev/sda) due to some errors, therefore I cannot reformat it. Essentially, I think I need to fix the partition table but I'm not sure how to when it doesn't register as a device. code...
