--- Comment #169 from tdy...@hotmail.com --- I haven't commented on this issue before, because I am lucky? Things work for me well, but not without few attempts. I did the following: I made a complete system image backup using dd for quick recovery. I do that every time Debian has a new release. My KDE4 worked just fine, but things did not work few times when I attempted to upgrade my systems. Currently my KDE5 behaves well: I have long date YYYY-MM-DD and 24hr clock hh:mm:ss. By conducting careful upgrades I managed to defeat the 12hr (AM/PM idiocy) My locale reports: ANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_CA.UTF-8 I remember keeping out of Regional Settings, where under Formats I have Time: Canada (iu_CA) As I can see I never touched Time & Date because date is good but time is not (12hr). Yet, the time in the task bar is correct. Mind you, I decided to keep kdm at all cost, so maybe this is why things sort of work for me? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
