I'd also like to point out how ambiguous and ineffective this method is. >From a logical point of view, when I think of changing something to my calendar, I look into its settings. Simple as that.
I've tried your option right now. It does what you say, but not exactly how it should. It also modifies the language in which the days are shown in the calendar, even though English still remains everywhere else throughout the system. Why the hell changing the regional settings also changes some language setting ? When I say this method is TOTALLY wrong, I know why I'm saying it. Look at Android. They finally got to their senses and added a nice little option in the Calendar Settings for "Week starts on:" with the options: "Locale default (!!), Saturday, Sunday, Monday." Is it that hard ? Simple, logical, effective. The current method is totally inefficient. I mean, if even a developer starts scratching their head looking for this option, then this should tell you that something is wrong. -- 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.
