Dashboard - SystemTime

1st Official Post

    I have set up a OMV NAS on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Penta Sata Hat with four SSD's in RAID 5. Works super!

    On the Dashboard there is the System Time in the format "Sat Apr 12 19:19:42 2025" what is not in the format I'am used to work with in the Netherlands.

    Is there a way that I can configure this to "HH:MM:SS DD-MM-YYYY" ?

    Have been looking in the forum but could not find a topic about this.


    Thanks in advance for a reply

    Thanks for your reply.


    Have been looking into this. The browser is using a different format. (za 12 apr 2025 21:00:22 CEST).

    I will be looking further into this, later.

    I've checked the sources and if you are talking about the "System Time" dashboard widget, this is using the dtae/time format of the system. So you need to modify the locale system settings manually because OMV does not take care about that and therefor does not configure it.

    For those who are interested in the solution for this, on a Raspberry Pi 5 .

    • Edit /etc/locale.gen (sudo nano /etc/locale.gen) and make sure that both en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8 are uncommented
    • Run "sudo locale-gen"
    • Edit /etc/default/locale (sudo nano /etc/default/locale) to:
    Code
    LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
    • Reboot

    LANG sets the default locale, and LC_* override specific categories. See "man locale" for the full category list.


    Change "nl_NL" to your desired setting.
