Hi,
My system clock shows "Mon Jan 19, 9:19", which is fine because its 24hrs but bad because I dont need the weekday. 09/01/19 would be perfect.
Additionally, Thunderbird shows me this:
Monday, January 19, 2009 09:19 AM
Which is stupid because
its different from the desktop time
its 12hr format
its much much too long
Then, Lotus Notes (8.5 debian, not WINE)
Shows me the following:
01/19/2008 | AM 09:19
Which is also stupid because:
its also 12HR
its slightly different than thundebrird (AM in front instead of behind the time)
its MM/DD/YYYY instead of a prefered YYYY/MM/DD or DD/MM/YYYY at least
How can I unify those? I found out that I have to "change locale". There is a manual at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
but the localeconf package seems to be unavailable since gutsy?
so how do I change the locale? How can I make the applications look even remotely the same?
thanks,
Oliver
