Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Date formats gone wrong in 18.04
I managed to fix it. After doing locale | grep LC_TIME it showed the answer LC_TIME=C.UTF-8 previously it had been LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 In the C locale file, it had US settings, so I copied en_GB over it, and after doing sudo locale-gen and logging out and logging in again, it was all back to how it should be.

The other weird thing to happen since upgrading is the loss of all desktop icons. In the Desktop folder, the icons are there, but on the actual desktop.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Date formats gone wrong in 18.04
How did you upgrade? I've been upgrading by making a copy of my entire /home/ directory, doing a fresh install using some other name, creating the was created back in the 1980's and has stayed with me), adjusting user privileges, then restoring my /home/ directory and then rebooting and logging in as . This will eventually bite me in the foot when there are changes in applications but so far it's worked, and my entire user space remains the same including things like desktops, etc., as I upgrade. I'm also running a couple of applications that I still need access to under VirtualBox/Windows 7 x64; this works OK although I sometimes have to turn Norton Security off. It's actually much faster to get into the app than rebooting into Windows 7 with its interminable waits during the boot process. My desktop. however, has 2 quad core Xeon processors and 20 GB of RAM so assigning resources to the Windows 7 virtual machine doesn't hurt performance much. The version of VirtualBox supported by Ubuntu is no longer supported by Oracle; I could have done an install from Oracle but instead found a copy of the options ISO elsewhere and used it to get to the various features of VirtualBox only supported by the options. Reliability of Ubuntu Studio is now much better than my native Windows 7 x64 system running on the same machine, and it is faster. Thanks!
