ubuntu application to show calendar with week numbers

Question

I would like to view a calendar for the current month, with each week having a week number against it. Is there an application to do this?

The properties under the clock / calendar can be adjusted to do that. — Ringtail, Mar 18 '12 at 17:16

The default time & calendar indicator applet has this built it - you just need to enable the option.

Has the settings menu been dumbed down? I could not see such an option in Ubuntu 11.10 running Gnome Shell and hence I had to do http://askubuntu.com/a/226443/32792 – k0pernikus Dec 07 '12 at 10:53

Running gsettings set org.gnome.shell.calendar show-weekdate true solved the problem for me.

On Ubunu 20.04, the command

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.calendar show-weekdate true

enables week numbers in the calendar widget.

There's something missing here. Under both 12.04 and 12.10 this results in the error message: "No such schema 'org.gnome.shell.calendar'" – fabricator4 Dec 07 '12 at 11:27
@fabricator4 I am running Gnome Shell instead of Unity. – k0pernikus Dec 15 '12 at 21:15
Still works like a charm in Ubuntu 13.10 with GNOME (Shell) 3.10, with the exception of a slight misalignment of the numbers. – Forage Feb 04 '14 at 10:26

On 12.04 after moving from unity to gnome-shell, I had to

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-week-numbers true

to have weeknumbers in the calendar notification applet.

As user1333445 advised to look at answer 130006 I installed dconf-tools for my Ubuntu 18.10:

Yet another way in Ubuntu 20.04:

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

This is not acutally a calendar application, but it displays the week numbers: The Gnome-Calendar applet. A screenshot from Gnome2:
