For several days now, the day of the week has not been displayed on the time sub-menu, as shown in the screenshot. I use Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome.

Calendar has a space instead of weekday

How can I fix this?

It's probably a bug in this update, which landed in focal-updates on 2021-03-25.

I recently moved to 20.04 and had the same issue. One workaround I found was to open the Settings, disable auto update of the date if enabled, manually move the date a day forward or back in Settings, then while keeping the Settings open, open the top bar calendar and you should see the day-of-week appear. At that point just set the date back to the correct date or auto update in Settings and close. I couldn't tell you why this works though.

Install GNOME Tweaks from the Ubuntu Software Centre and set the Top Bar to show Weekday.

  • Thanks for your help but please, read the question carefully, this solution desn't solve my problem. – yoles Apr 01 '21 at 20:34
  • this indeed changes what is in the top bar, not what is in the submenu. – vanadium Apr 06 '21 at 10:09
  • @vanadium curious then that my implementation of Tweaks on a standard vanilla 20.04.2 LTS shows the day in the submenu correctly. – graham Apr 06 '21 at 10:21

    Even with "weekday" disabled in this Tweaks setting, the weekday remains in the submenu. If this is a bug, then you are not necessarily affected by it as well. – vanadium Apr 06 '21 at 10:29
