[Bug 2098] Re: calendar - week starts on the wrong day for locale
Not fixed for en_SE (not existing still), but using en_GB finally gives me a calendar starting on Monday at least. Just hope there are no ill side effects otherwise.

A work around... You need to find a locale with first_weekday 2 in the LC_TIME section. Try this: grep first_weekday /usr/share/i18n/locales/* | grep en_ and you should get ... /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_AU:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_DK:first_weekday 2 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_HK:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_IE:first_weekday 2 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_IN:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_NZ:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_PH:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_SG:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US:first_weekday 1 /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_ZA:first_weekday 1 so if en_DK or en_IE is OK for you then use that. If you really want to stay with en_GB, and you can't wait for them to fix this upstream, then you can patch your own copy of en_GB and recompile it. Like this: cd ~ cp /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB . then edit ~/en_GB and change the line that says first_weekday 1 to first_weekday 2 next use localedef to recompile it. Like this: cd ~ mkdir locale localedef -c -i en_GB -f UTF-8 locale/en_GB.utf8 when it is done, overwrite the relevant LC_TIME component with your new one sudo cp ~/locale/en_GB.utf8/LC_TIME /usr/lib/locale/en_GB.utf8/ Use at your own risk, but it works for me (Dapper 6.06).

[Bug 2098] Re: calendar - week starts on the wrong day for locale
Does this mean that for me (Sweden), there's just an appropriate en_SE entry missing (as DK for instance has one)? Would adding one make this just work(TM) when choosing language and location as before? -- calendar - week starts on the wrong day for locale https://launchpad.net/bugs/2098 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2098] Re: calendar - week starts on the wrong day for locale
Yes. I don't think that the standard locales package provides en_SE, so you are free to add one (with the proviso that it might get deleted when you upgrade any package that thinks it owns the locale directories). Just copy a suitable starting point, say en_DK, edit it to make it say what you want, then recompile as above subtituting en_SE for en_GB in my instructions. You would need to copy the whole of the output directory produced instead of just the LC_TIME part. You may find that some non-GTK X applications complain about your locale though. Normally this means that they will defauilt to the C locale. You may need to do some more investigation. You might also try to get en_SE added to the locales package. -- calendar - week starts on the wrong day for locale https://launchpad.net/bugs/2098 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
