Then to have the date in my locale it_IT, you need something like this: export LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8 and the trick is done! I really like to have the background image of my Ubuntu desktop automatically changing over time. I’ve finally upgraded my Laptop to Lucid Lynx 10.4 and all is almost fine. I ordered the N900 just after the Nokia’s launch announce. Being already an N800 owner, I was waiting from a long time for a device like this. I’m subscribed to Linux Journal from the very first day and yesterday, digging between my paper archives, I found these little pieces of history: the first 3 Linux Journal issues published in 1994. |
