System Time (UBUNTU 13.10)

[malte]

Hi all,

trying to figure out, why my UBUNTU 13.10, set to german language yields empty for

the long system time

I get the correct value under UBUNTU 12.10 LTS

Can not figure out what is different between the systems though.

Any help much appreciated.

Livecode doesn't support all chacter encodings, german language has a lot of special chars. What is the standard output of date command on the german pc?

Hi Max,

"the date" will always return the english date:
2/5/14

"the system date" should return the german date:
05.02.14

"the long system time" returns this here:
15:07:53

Hope that is what had asked


Best

No, I was talking of the linux shell.

It worth to try on the linux shell of the German PC:

Code: Select all

date

and

Code: Select all

date -s

if the output contains special chars, Livecode probably put empty.
