Version 12.04
I am testing this on VBox, having previously used version 11.10. So far
mostly so good. I have two questions please. The new version has the menu icon at the top left corner instead of the bottom left corner. So far I can't find any way to change it. With the earlier version I was able to get the Orage calendar to show the weeks starting on a Sunday. To do this I did as follows. Go to /usr/share/i18n/locales. Open the text file en_GB. Find the line first_weekday and change 2 to 1. This worked. I have done the same in version 12.04 but it has no effect. Has something changed? Thanks for any help, Neil -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users |

However I have now run locale-gen and restarted the program and it is now working as required. I have updated my help notes too.

I find it interesting to compare this with my other distro Kubuntu. Xubuntu Open up /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_GB in a text editor. In the section LC_TIME find the line first_weekday 2. Change the 2 to a 1 and save the file. In a terminal screen run sudo locale-gen. Close down and restart the distro. (Note that the text file is owned by root so you need to find a way round that or you can't save the change. Note also that it is not obvious which file to edit.) Kubuntu Menu --> Settings --> System settings. Click on Locale Open the Calendar tab From the drop down menu under First day of the week, choose the day you want. Click on Apply Return to the desktop. Job done. IMHO the Kubuntu way is easier and more intuitive. It seems that Orage, in Xubuntu, takes its defaults from the relevant locale file. This will not always be what people want, and it is not obvious how to change it. However, I do like Xubuntu. I am thinking of upgrading my computer to a more up-to-date distro and Xubuntu is certainly on the list.
