lightdm[3572]: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files

gsimplecal

1. Install the pkg if necessary. sudo apt install gsimplecal
2. Add the config file to ~/.config/gsimplecal/ (create the dir)
3. Customize the config file as desired. It's set for my current needs. See man gsimplecal

Enjoy!

Sane linux locale

Configure linux locale for US English but metric units & Monday as first week day.

1. edit (as root) the locale file at /etc/default/locale as shown below.
2. Edit /etc/locale.gen as root. (example below) If it does not exist, create it.
3. Run /usr/sbin/locale-gen as root.

You might also want to add export LC_COLLATE="C" to ~/.bashrc to make dotfiles appear first in ls.
