Date/Time useless information [Solved]

[synesius]

As a newcomer to Sabayon, though not to Linux in general, may I congratulate all those involved in producing a very fine distro. I think I may well have found my home, "after many wanderings, many years of absence".

I have installed and updated/upgraded Sabayon 9 successfully (I think! - Nothing has gone wrong so far, at least.) One detail niggles me though. As a British English user I have no interest whatsoever in when Child Health Day or Citizenship Day is in the USA. The configuration of the Date/Time details only seems to deal with the Date and Time itself. Likewise the relevant section in System Settings. How can I get rid of all this useless information? - useless to me, that is, though perhaps not to an unhealthy American child.

Are you using KDE, or a different DE?

Each DE handles this differently.

Assuming KDE, it is possible to change the holiday set since KDE 4.6: http://www.layt.net/john/blog/odysseus/ ... release_46

I'm not sure the exact path to navigate to the calendar settings in 4.9, but this should still be there in some form.

Yes. Thank you. It needs to be edited thro' the Digital Clock widget. (KDE) All is now well. We have the Queen's Birthday and such more important dates now!

I do just wonder why I was lumbered with the American holidays when Locale and Keyboard were, from installation, UK. A minor bug, perhaps?

Perhaps. It might just be unecessarily complicated to set the calendars to anything but one generic default. It might be a bug that effected you but not a very common one. I'm really not sure.
