Default Linux US locale configured to have Sunday as a first day of the week. I don't live in USA, however I want to use US locale in Gnome. Everything except first day of the week satisfies me. So we will change this.
For this we need to modify out linux locale. We will copy it to $PWD and modify it using your favourite editor (mine is vi)
bash# cp /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US en_US_modified
bash# vi en_US_modifiedWe should change
week 7;19971130;7week 7;19971130;5and add 2 lines just after it
first_weekday 2
first_workday 2and put back as different name
bash# localedef -c -i en_US_modified -f UTF-8 locale/en_US.utf8@iso
bash# cp -r locale/en_US.utf8\@iso /usr/lib/locale/Then we should open /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change LANG variable to
LANG="en_US.utf8\@iso"or you can just copy it instead of original
bash# rsync -va locale/en_US.utf8\@iso/ /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/And reboot the system
bash# rebootNow you can see that in your system (especially gnome cal, calendar) shows weeks correctly.
