Andrei, I'd like to point out a couple of misconceptions. Yes, this is covered by the locale concept, but that does not mean what you write in the description of this bug.
If you open Language Support, you see that the display language and regional formats setting are separated. In other words you can pick whichever language you like - that does not affect e.g. the first day of the week. The choice on the regional formats tab, OTOH, does affect the first day of the week. If you there select en_US, you get Sunday as first day, so you don't want that. If you for instance pick en_GB, you get it 'right', i.e. Monday. en_DK is another choice you may want to try. There is absolutely no need to edit the en_US locale definition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944340 Title: Cannot change First day of the week in calendar in 12.04 Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is present in Ubuntu 12.04, but from what I've heard, it's way older. I know that this relates to the locale conception, but what if I want English language AND Monday as the first day of the week ? Right now, if I want English, I have to use en_US locale, but this also triggers Sunday to be set as First day of the week. Why can't I have both ? Can't you make a simple option in the Time & Date settings panel for the First day of the week ? It can't be that hard... The fix I used: 1. Open a terminal and type in "gksudo gedit /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US" 2. Find the line starting with "first_weekday". The value for Monday in en_US is 2 (Sunday is 1) 3. Change to "first_weekday 2" (default was 1) 4. Type in terminal "sudo locale-gen" 5.
