I'm using Ubuntu, but I cannot change the date from the format mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy.

Where can I change this setting?

  • Please mention where you are seeing the wrong format. Many programs in Ubuntu will show the date, not all use the same format.

The time format is dependent on your locale, which is a regional setting you can change. You can either:

  • modify /etc/environment and set LC_TIME to a locale which has this time format
  • create a new locale
