Dear Mika,


Does this also explain the timezone issue?

Before my overly gregarious side generates more junk mail, can I simply change the values here?

What did you do?

mika@grml ~ % env | grep -e LC_ALL -e LANGUAGE
LC_ALL=en_US.iso885915
LANGUAGE=us

dpkg --list locales
cat /etc/environment /etc/default/locale
grep en_US /etc/locale.gen
