LC_TIME update

[Guest]

Hello.

I need to permanently change my LC_TIME settings.

After reading info in net I executed:

sudo update-locale LC_TIME="uk_UA.UTF-8"

Then rebooted my PC.

And after all that manipulations I still have:

$ locale | grep LC_TIME
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

$ grep LC_TIME /etc/default/locale
LC_TIME=uk_UA.UTF-8

$ env | grep LC_TIME
LC_TIME=uk_UA.UTF-8

Which way I can permanently change my LC_TIME settings?

I think you might find the following bug report of interest as I think it probably is connected with what you are trying to do: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340982

It's a sad tale of woe from people who don't want KDE to intransigently adhere to some limited standard (imposed by the underlying Qt libs apparently) but want KDE to be what KDE has always been: configurable and flexible. As far as I can see until the Qt people fix the problem (if ever) it won't change in Plasma 5.

I discovered this bug when I simply wanted to display the time in the System Tray to "am/pm" not "AM/PM" ... trivial, I know, but something which is so easy to do in KDE4.
