Locale setting

As an American myself, I don't really have a preference for the order of terms, whether it be MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD or whatever else. I just wish we could all agree an a standard so Europeans aren't confused about not seeing 9/11 memes on November 9 anymore.

Sort of I think. I did it on my Ubuntu box, and the file manager has an option to do a form of install rather than just copy.

I've started again from scratch.

I re-imaged the SD card from my local copy of Bullseye, and then restarted the Pi. The first boot up asks you to do the locale setup (although it isn't named as such). That was set with the British settings. Once past that (and creating a user), I ran locale, and en_GB was used, so far so good. I then ran raspi-config to set hostname, timezone (I use UTC rather than a local one) and various other bits. I then ran locale again, and it was still good. I updated the software, then set up ssh keys and installed the stuff I wanted on the pi, and again all was good.

So the Pi is now happily chugging away doing what it is supposed to do, and I don't get error/warning messages when I ssh to my other Pis.

Thanks

Adrian
