[Bug 878767] Re: No GUI option to change week-starting day
Would you please implement this feature? There are MANY reasons why people needs this.. I'll give you mine if you like: - I live in Argentina, so my setting on 'Regional Formats' is 'Spanish'. - I like English, I code in English, etc.. so my Language locale is en_US. - I'm a 7th Day Adventist, so I believe Saturday is the LAST day of the week. As far as my configuration goes, It's all almost ok, EXCEPT the damn calendar, which doesn't follow the Spanish locale neither en_US apparently (I've checked those files and they have first_day set to '1'... I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, and it's pretty annoying not to have a trivial menu item for this... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/878767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 878767] Re: No GUI option to change week-starting day
I know this is an old bug but there is still no way to change first day of the week in 2014 without undesirable consequences. I find it a bit astounding that such reasoning is used to not accept this as a bug. As already mentioned, every other operating system has this option. And the reason they do is that it's useful to people. I will not go on repeating the arguments for it, I believe there is no question to how obvious they are. This restriction affects the user experience in a negative way and it does so with no good reason. Following this logic we can make the argument that no user customization is necessary or justified. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/878767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 878767] Re: No GUI option to change week-starting day
Gunnar, just like Andrei i find your reasoning flawed. As for ability to set arbitrary time formats and week starting days ect - more and more people live and work in a global world where the lines between time zones, customs, working environments become more and more blurred. Think of international companies with offices all over the world that might use en_US while needing to work with the local time and week conventions. Similar applies to millions of local companies that hire international workforce... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/878767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Btw, the existing control for setting 12-hour or 24-hour time is superfluous IMO. Yeah, let's start restricting just about everything in the OS just because it's easy to not implement the features. If YOU don't give a damn about a setting, that doesn't mean all people share your opinion. Furthermore, if the implementation for the requested feature is trivial, then why the hell would you even bother to condemn people who request it ? Every single major OS out there has this option, only this one hasn't just because you don't deem it necessarily ? I'm sorry, but that's just arrogant.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.

[Bug 878767] Re: No GUI option to change week-starting day
If I understand it correctly, you live in UK, where a week starts on Monday, but still wants that the calendar on your desktop displays weeks starting on Sunday. Out of curiosity, why? One thing you can do, if that is what you want, is to add the line export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 as is mentioned at ghelp:language-selector#format-advanced Doing so limits the adaption to US conventions to date and time related format. The level of detail with respect to the UIs for user settings is a trade off between varying personal preferences. Please keep in mind that a high level of detail, to satisfy wishes of a small number of users, may have drawbacks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/878767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 878767] Re: No GUI option to change week-starting day
Just because I live in the UK doesn't necessarily mean I want Monday as the first day of the week on my computer. Likewise, I've seen Americans who don't want Sunday as the first day. I have two jobs that both use Sunday - Saturday and it's annoying that I can choose this setting on things like my phone but not on my computer. Of course I know I can change it by adding lines to config files but I am specifically requesting a GUI option for such a simple feature. If my mother calls to ask how to change her calendar I shouldn't have to tell her the only option is to edit config files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878767 Title: No GUI option to change week-starting day To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/878767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
