Clock does not default to format specified in LC_Time
Last modified: 2010-04-09 17:51:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: In a fresh install of Ubuntu, I'll set my local to en_GB.UTF8. The Clock applet should default to time format to that specified by LC_Time. This problem also affects the welcome/login screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu 9.04 2. Set the local to en_GB.UTF8 Actual results: Clock defaults the displayed time to 12hr format Expected results: Clock should default the displayed time format to 24hr Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: paul@ubuntu:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL= paul@ubuntu:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ locale LC_TIME Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December AM;PM %a %d %b %Y %T %Z %d/%m/%y %T %l:%M:%S %P %Z 0 S 7 19971201 4 1 1 1 %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y UTF-8
I can confirm this in version 2.28.0 of the Clock applet. My LC_TIME is set to it_IT.UTF8, nevertheless Sunday is displayed as first day of the week while it should be Monday.

This sounds like a bug in the locale -- many locales were broken wrt this. (In reply to comment #0) > Steps to reproduce: > 1. Install Ubuntu 9.04 > 2.

Also, can you attach a screenshot of the clock configuration in gconf? I'd like
