How to change displayed time to 24-hour clock? (Fedora 22 KDE spin)

[Kenneth Wolcott]

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.
