HOWTO: Set Gnome Calendar First Day of Week

[Reptile1712]

Even more than 2 & 1/2 years, and still useful here, thx

Because it's Gnome, and the Gnome philosophy seems to be "Remove as many options from the user as possible! Then we get a better and cleaner interface!!". From what I've heard the option to change first day of week was included before, but they REMOVED it.

Anyway, thanks a million for the tip! I like running my OS in English, but starting the week on a Sunday is not for me.

Same here. Thanks

In case of unity the last step should look like

killall unity-panel-service

Yes, in the US en at least. Sunday is the first day and Saturday is day 7.

That's is incorrect. The Gregorian calendar (that's the one we use on a daily basis) and the ISO calendar state clearly that the first day of the week is Monday!

Unless you're sticking to the Hebrew calendar. For this calendar Sunday is the first day of the week!

So this is an error in Ubuntu!!!!

By the way: NONE of the brilliant suggestions to fix this error will deal with the problem. ALL SUGGESTION HAVE FAILED and I followed them to the letter! The capital letters are there to illustrate my disappointment and frustration!

I can no longer edit this thread, but the solutions presented here were first posted 4 years ago. Much has changed since then, and I'm surprised the solutions still worked as long as they did.

I'lll ask the mods to close the thread.

So done.
