What is the recommended way to change the first day of the week to Monday (instead of Sunday, as in the screenshot below)?
I couldn't find anything related in Clock Preferences, nor in System -> Preferences, or System -> Administration.
This probably has something to do with tweaking locales, so here's (possibly relevant) output from locale
:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
...
LC_ALL=
NB: I want to keep English as the UI language both in GNOME and on command line. Dates are currently displayed like this (e.g. ls -l
): 2010-10-06 15:32
, and I also want to keep that as it is.
killall gnome-panel
wasn't enough). However, someone in the thread pointed out that: "While this is useful and will do the trick temporarily, it will only work until the "locales" package is updated or reinstalled, because then this file will be overwritten/replaced with a new one from the locales package". I also found another solution, which I'll post shortly...first_weekday 2
andfirst_workday 2
in theLC_TIME
section in/usr/share/i18n/locales/<your_locale>
.
