Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources (I'm using 4.0.80 packages from Debian experimental) I want to display time in 24h format in KDE4 and not the am/pm notation. So I choose in systemsettings > Regional settings > date & time > time format HH:MM:SS but it displays wrong. For example, I expect to see something like 21:45:17 but instead it displays 21:MM:17 in all applications. When I switch back to pH:MM:SS AMPM format, sometimes the switch is ok, sometimes not.
I've done a test with a new user, and time display is ok so the question is: which file is corrupted ?
more information problem seems with file ~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals I removed this file and time display well. But if I add another language "french", it adds the following lines in kdeglobals [Locale] Country=C Language=fr: TimeFormat=%l:%M:%S %p and then I can't switch again the time format...
When I specify country = Canada i now have in kdeglobals [Locale] Country=ca DateFormat=%B %e, %Y DateFormatShort=%d/%m/%y Language=fr: MonetaryDecimalSymbol=. MonetaryThousandsSeparator=$0,$0 ThousandsSeparator=$0,$0 TimeFormat=%H:MM:%S TimeFormat is wrong !
Can you look in $(kde4-config --prefix)/share/locale/l10n/ca/entry.desktop and check the values of the TimeFormat lines? I would expect to see a %H:MM:%S as copied to your kdeglobals file there. However I do not have that in my version of that file and there have been no recent changes to it in SVN.
hi, Here it is: ovit@hobbes:~$ grep TimeFormat $(kde4-config --prefix)/share/locale/l10n/ca/entry.desktop TimeFormat[en_GB]=%I:%M:%S %p TimeFormat[fr]=%H:%M:%S TimeFormat[en_US]=%I:%M:%S %p TimeFormat[eo]=%H:%M:%S seems ok
Hi Olivier, can you still reproduce this bug using a clean account with the new KDE 4.1.3 or using trunk? thanks!
You should try even using KDE 4.2 beta1 which has a lot of new fixes too.
