Hi;
How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin)
I just downloaded and installed Fedora 22 KDE spin as a VIrtualBox guest OS.
I have updated.
I'm trying to change the am/pm time format to 24-hour time format.
Under System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Date & Time I do not find any way to change the format of my time, only my timezone, which I do not wish to change.
I tried to change the icon itself but that doesn't work either.
Thanks, Ken Wolcott

You're supposed to make a change to your locale in
Personalization --> Regional Settings --> Formats
there you're supposed to check the "Detailed Settings" box and then pick a locale for Time what does 24hr such as gb (Great Britian). You could use "C" from the GUI but there is currently a bug which causes that to fail.
What I do is to simply add
export LC_TIME=C
to my ~/.bashrc file.
No matter what you do, you need to logout/login for the changes to take effect.
There is a BZ upstream to address this whole issue. People are generally unhappy with the current method which lacks the ability to make more precise settings for your preferred formats.
