Change locale
I'm getting am/pm time in Steam which seems to be caused by the locale set in arch:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Because the filesystem is mounted as read-only i cannot run locale-gen. I can think of some nasty ways to solve this but I cannot imagine i'm the only one with this problem. What is the proper way to solve this?
I think you will have to wait for the new Steam UI to become standard. It includes an option for a 24 hour clock.
Thanks, that sounds interesting. But that doesn't solve the actual problem, where is makes sense to be able to set the locale somewhere, probably during install, like other os-es. There is probably a good reason why this option isn't there though..
I think maybe we can generate all locales that steam supports (they are not as many). Then the switch should be as simple as a conf file.
Fixed on v37
