Hardy upgrade lost UK short date format

[Terrycymru]

After upgrading to Hardy I have lost the UK short date format DDMMYYYY and now have the US format MMDDYYYY across all applications.

I have checked etc/environment and it shows the correct line:
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"

How can I get the UK format back?

Later: I've also tried making a change in System>Administration>Language Support which is set by default to English (United States). I can select English (United Kingdom) but it will not save the setting. I don't know if this has any relevance to the date format problem.

Hello there,
It seems that I have got the same problem than you after installing a 8.04 from scratch.
Did you manage to find a solution?

Hi Bagvian, I've had to fix a number of issues relating to locale so I am not sure what fixed what. Try this:

1. Logout
2. On login screen click on Options (on bottom left of screen)
3. Select Language
4. Log back in and hopefully it will be saved

Please post back here if it solves your problem.

I had a similar problem but with an original load of 8.0.4 - This solved it - thanks!
