I want to have all the locales set to en_US.UTF-8
, but I don’t want 12h time (AM/PM).
Modify /etc/login.conf
as follows:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | --- /etc/login .conf.orig 2016-05-17 20:19:47.189836683 +0200 +++ /etc/login .conf 2016-05-17 20:04:48.151898313 +0200 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ :passwd_format=sha512:\ :copyright= /etc/COPYRIGHT :\ :welcome= /etc/motd :\ - :setenv=MAIL= /var/mail/ $,BLOCKSIZE=K:\ + :setenv=MAIL= /var/mail/ $,BLOCKSIZE=K,LC_COLLATE=C:\ :path= /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin ~ /bin :\ :nologin= /var/run/nologin :\ :cputime=unlimited:\ @@ -44,7 +44,9 @@ :pseudoterminals=unlimited:\ :priority=0:\ :ignoretime@:\ - : umask =022: + : umask =022:\ + :charset=UTF-8:\ + :lang=en_US.UTF-8: # # A collection of common class names - forward them all to 'default' |
After changing execute sudo cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
.
To change to 24h clock in uptime
, w
etc. Change /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_TIME
as follows:
