I just installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on my laptop and would like to change the time format on the lock screen to 12-hour time. Is there a file on the system I can edit to change the format, or do the people at Ubuntu just assume everyone wants to use 24-hour time? I looked at the answer provided for a similar question, but it didn't answer what I'm asking.

  • Perhaps this solves your problem (?): https://askubuntu.com/questions/1043364/clock-on-login-screen-in-24-hour-format-desktop-in-12-hour-format-18-04-upgrad – Ollie May 16 '20 at 18:38
  • The answer @Ollie referenced changed the time format on the login screen, but not the lock screen. I use the Panel Date Format extension to format the time on the desktop. – Dave F May 16 '20 at 21:23

I was able to change the format by following the instructions on this page but changing step 2 such that I added the dconf key org/gnome/desktop/interface and set the value of clock-format to '12h'.
