GNOME Clock
 

Would anyone happen to know how to change the GNOME Clock applets calendar to start on Sunday instead of Monday? I checked my locale and that seem to be correct (en_US). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for any help.

Very funny noxious. But don't post unless you have something to add to the discussion.

Bump, any help?

I have never tried it, since the Gnome Clock has always been the way I like it. But I did find http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_localedef
It might be able to help you.

Please don't do this again. Bumping your thread like this is very rude.

What would be the correct way to re-ask a question after three months, without any (useful) response so far? I do not see anything wrong with bumping a question after such a long time, but maybe I don't see things right.

Apologies, I didn't see the earlier date. However, the absolute correct way (and only acceptable way on these forums) is to reply to your own post with details of things you have tried since your last post.

I said that I checked my locale and it is correct.

What if I have no other information to give on such a problem...? I think my way is pretty acceptable in this case.

AFAIK this is (was) a Gtk problem. I've seen the thing work correctly on XFCE 4.4, which I've compiled against Gtk 2.8 (it was broken in 4.2 -- official Slack installation). A Google search should reveal the details, check out and make sure this is the case.

Well, If you did nothing further for 3 months the assumption would be that you solved or abandoned the problem. Why should anyone help further?

Well, this problem persisted for a very long time for me. The solution? Create an /etc/env.d/02locale file containing

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US

then run env-update && source /etc/profile and restart X.

Now my calendar starts on Sunday.

Please please do not re-open old posts if you have nothing on-topic to add. This is a Slackware forum, and we do not have "env-update", nor does /etc/env.d/ exist.

Perhaps, more generally, the fix seems to be specifying LC_TIME=en_US in your disro's locale config file.

This problem affects multiple distros' implementation of Gnome.

It is unfortunate that upstream should leave something so simple for the individual distros to fix. I suppose you could use something other than Gnome.
