[Bug 177460] Re: Invalid date value
I experience this too, on both my main PC and laptop. It's a real pain. In both cases, the locale is set to UK, and the year part of the date field is only two digits long. Evolution version is 2.12.1 Ubuntu version is 7.10 (gutsy) Kernel is 2.6.22-14-generic Gnome version is 2.20.1 CPU is an AMD Athlon XP-M on the main machine. -- Invalid date value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Re: [Bug 177460] Re: Invalid date value
Hi Pedro, Thank you for your prompt reply. I believed that I had given sufficient information. If you can suggest what I have omitted, I will gladly provide further details. Best wishes, George Francis This is what I have already submitted:- Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution After installing English, UK language support, the year value in the birthday/anniversary date field of the contact manager becomes a 2 digit number. Trying to enter a birth-date/anniversary, e.g., 1938, is impossible, resulting in the error message, 'invalid date value'. It worked OK when I used the locale settings for Zurich.

Re: [Bug 177460] Re: Invalid date value
Bug 177460 - More detailed information After running the Ubuntu live CD on a spare PC, the default birthday field format is mm/dd/, so no problem here. Following the graphical installation route, which a novice user might take, I did the following:- Request: 'Where are you?' Repsonse: City - London, Selected Region - UK. Request: Keyboard Response: UK selected Request: Prepare disk space (manual option) /dev/sda1 swap 789MB /dev/sda2 ext3 /7863MB (format) /dev/sda3 ext3 /home11367MB (format) Request: Who are you? Response: Personal details entered Proceed with installation. -- Post (default) installation to hard disk:- Graphical user login. Click Evolution mail icon on top menu bar. would Using Evolution setup assistant I entered personal information. Request: Timezone Response: Europe/London Proceed to contact manager and create a new address book entry. Select the personal information tab and go to birthday field. The date field format is now showing as dd/mm/yy. (only two digits for the year) Attempting to enter the date as 29/03/1941 invokes on screen message, 'invalid date value' -- Clicked on icon at top right of upper menu bar and installed 148 new patches/updates.
