Time and Date Display - learix - 09-02-2014

I don't even really know where to put this, but just did a fresh install of 2.0 from 1.0.4, anyway the time and date is showing up very strange as you can tell in the picture I have provided.

Any insight on this?

Have you installed or configured any languages?

Re: Time and Date Display - learix - 09-02-2014

No I haven't, I was wondering if setting my location to Taiwan might have effected it, not sure how to change location after install though.

Re: Time and Date Display - Valtam - 09-02-2014

Open a terminal and type:

Code:
locale

and

Code:
cat /etc/default/locale

Paste the 2 separate outputs here.

Yes, open terminal and do:

Code:
sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

You may need to log out then in again to see the change, or reboot.

Re: Time and Date Display - learix - 09-02-2014

Perfect thanks, rebooted and all is well now.

You may be able to. If you right click on the task bar. Then the heading Panel shows up with the option + add new items.Click that.Look for date time. Click that and then add.This will put the calendar clock in the corner where you can customize it by right clicking and choosing properties.You can move it to a different location on the task bar by right clicking and choosing move.Or delete it altogether by right click remove.
