By reading ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/plugins/language/language- plugin.cpp source code, it appears that this rather common problem (preferred en_US locale and 24-hour military clock) happens because selected language (translated to locale) is assigned *both* to the Language and FormatsLocale of the org.freedesktop.Accounts.User properties.
It can be fixed (until you change it with ubuntu-system-settings again) by changing FormatsLocale after you've set your desired language, and restarting device: $ dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User$UID org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetFormatsLocale string:'ru_RU.UTF-8' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1392699 Title: Can't change locale settings (e.g. language, 12/24-hour time, date format) independently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libc/+bug/1392699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
