Thanks Gary, just got around to reading your post after an accelerated
course in how to mess things up on Linux!! I am still not totally sure how
Linux handles all the Date formatting as on first install the system clock
t the bottom is in 24hr format, but every thing else displays as 12 hr. I
finally solved the issue (I think) with the following Linux command
sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
My locale was set as Canada where the 12hr format is more common, by
changing the TIME part to GB it then uses 24hr. I am sure there are many
good reasons I shouldn't do it this way but.........
Mind you, I haven't found a way to return to the 12hr format (not that I
want to). I would have thought that
sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 would work, but it doesn't!
