[System] Lock Screen Time format, edits not changing?

[rec9140]

Doing my normal settings changes... and getting correct 24H time, I change the QML in

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/qml/org/kde/breeze/components

Clock.qml

Basically following, the below, but updating the path, as above,... since.. oh don't get me started... any way...

https://askubuntu.com/questions/7831...24-hour-format

No joy..

Edited, save , hit keyboard short to lock, no joy, still idiot time, log out, still no joy, idiot time, reboot, ditto..

Any ideas

If it matters, this is a test in KVM, don't think that should matter, but...

Hi rec9140,

do you want to change your time format from 12-hour to 24-hour?

[claydoh]

Do you want 24 hours *only* on the lockscreen?

If not:
In your region sessions, set the time to use the C option, or any other location that uses 24 hours.



It might take a short wait or session restart for this to take effect, iirc

Editing the qml, there may be caches not getting cleared, and of course potential updates overwriting your edit.




Note, if you are talking about the login screen, that is an entirely different anima from the lock screenl, and is independent from any user account locale settings.
You will want to go into your login screen settings and use the "Apply Plasma Settings" to have the login screen use *your* location settings here.

I have seen the lock screen use the system-level locale for the first time it is used, if it locks shortly after a login, but subsequent times it uses the correct user-specified format. I am thinking this has to do with this setup not having the login screen set to use the user's locale setting, but it is just a guess.

I also think this problem may be tied to Qt more than to Plasma specifically.
