After a bit of confusion, I tracked down the problem. In language-pack-gnome-en-base, data/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gdm.po, there are the lines: msgid "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p" msgstr "%a %d %b, %H:%M %p"
The strftime format string "%H:%M %p" contains a mishmash of both 24h and 12h formatting. This should either be just "%H:%M", or the original "%l:%M %p". Note: The gdm source package (po/en_GB.po) has the following lines: msgid "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p" msgstr "%a %b %d, %l:%M %p" The fix is to update language-pack-gnome-en-base with the "right" string. -- Login screen clock has AM/PM suffix despite 24-hour format https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
