Public bug reported: In GNOME, the setting /org/gnome/desktop/interface/clock-format has value "12h" or "24h" and determines whether GNOME applications such as Nautilus display 12-hour or 24-hour time. In vanilla GNOME's control center there's a Time & Date applet which lets the user set this value.
In Ubuntu's control center, the 12/24-hour control in theTime & Date applet sets a different value, namely /com/canonical/indicator/datetime /time-format. This setting determines how the clock appears in the Unity panel, but has no effect on GNOME applications. This leads to a poor and confusing user experience. The format in the Unity panel may not match that in GNOME applications. The user has no way to control the GNOME 12/24 hour setting through the Ubuntu control center. I think the best solution here is to eliminate /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/time-format, to let the user configure the underlying GNOME setting and to use that to decide how to display the clock in Unity. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174261 Title: Ubuntu Time & Date applet should set GNOME 12/24-hour clock format To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1174261/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
