Default first day of the week change

[Luca_Pavan]

How to change the first day of the week? GitLab's settings detected Sunday as system default but it must be Monday. Of course I set everything to Italian on Settings.

I think this one will help you:

Changing the First Day of the Week in Ubuntu 20.04

Technically, Sunday IS the first day of the week - we have only made it Monday because it is the first day of the WORKING week, which are not weeks as we know it Jim!

It's not a serious issue, just wanted to set Monday as first day of the week for my habit of customizing the most possible. I could set Monday from the drop-down menu but when I read System default (Sunday) I thought that the system had a wrong perception of time. Now let's see if my mind can handle that guide…

Here! This should help.

sudo nano /etc/default/locale

and then replace it with

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"

This should do the trick.

You may need to clear cookies.

Just for that website? Then I opened it for the first time ever, clearing cookies shouldn't mean that the page will detect the week first day correctly. By what I know the page should be able to detect it in any case. But now I wonder if Settings developers forgot to set that Italian first day of the week is Monday . As I set Italian isn't it better this way ?

LANG="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"

By what I see it looks already fine though.

Thanks for telling the command to display this output, now I have better info.

I was told that GitLab first day detection is done on their own servers, not on my own system, so case closed, thanks for participating .
