The 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.
Is this a bug? Anyone know how to fix it? code...
Maverick 10.10 is unable to create Japanese locales on my wife's laptop (Acer Aspire 3000). This machine previously had no such problem. The install is a fresh install, since the machine froze during the upgrade (no fault of Ubuntu's). A possible complication is that it froze several times more during the install, and I have gone through many recovery boots and iterations of dpkg configure. All relevant packages are installed, I believe. Everything else works. Through System, Administration, Language Support, I have installed all components of English and Japanese. Currently English is selected. Japanese should appear in the list but does not. Japanese text appears properly, and I can write in Japanese,But all the menus are in English. Fine by me, but my wife will want Japanese when she uses the computer again (not soon).This mostly likely is a glibc/libc6 problem, as far as I can tell. I can't find any other Ubuntu user with this problem recently.And now, some outputs:1. dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...

Is it possible to change the date format in Ubuntu 10.04 from the American mm/dd/yyyy to the British format of dd/mm/yyyy? I have looked at the Time/Date settings but cannot see any way of changing the date format

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.

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?

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 want to know that how we can read date in format of 12/04/2010

i want that the user give input in the form of 12/04/2010 and then system varify that the entered date formate is correct or not. if it is valid , system will print echo " valid date" otherwise system will print echo "invalid date format"
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.

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 1 Replies View RelatedI'm hardly keen on using (strictly, only or just) -t, --date=, -m -t, -c -m or -a -t, for all of which I'm clued in to their respective working date syntaxes, but if I must, I will. 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?
I'm looking for a method for modifying some jpg photo files last modification date with the corresponding timestamp creation date of each file.The reason is that shotwell import pictures in folders according to last modification date which is stupid on my opinion.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs a photographer I'm constantly taking photos and storing them in folders. Now occasionally I'm using two cameras (either for different settings or an assistant is also taking photos) which means that for one event I can have differently named images.Both cameras have the same time set (which always helps in Windows) but in Ubuntu when trying to sort my folder by date taken I can't.The options I'm given are to sort them: Manually, by Name, by Size, by Type, by Modification date and by Emblem.Now none of those are helpful to me once I've done a few edits to the images.So please if anyone knows, how do you organise a folder with images taken on different cameras by Date Taken rather than Date Edited?

Can you tell me if there is any way to follow links in samba code...
User can access files in both directories if he connects to the system (with ssh, login, ...).
So if he does "cd /dir/subdir1/link ; ls" he will see both files.
Now, dir1 is shared with samba (but not dir2). What I want is that users connect from Windows with \machinedir1dir2 and see both files.
Is that possible?
I've tried with follos links and wide links, but it hasn't work as I wanted.
