Public bug reported: The following was sent as an email to coreut...@gnu.org as directed by them.
===================================================================== Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy Version: coreutils 8.32-4.1ubuntu1.2 What I expect to happen: Please see below. Question: Why does ubuntu-bug transmit 300kbs for close to 4 minutes !!! That is a log of data, and I have to question the justification for so much data. ===================================================================== Hello, Please refer to my postings, ===================================================================== here (https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/1712#issuecomment-2305818307), where I stated: The issue here is that the FORMAT for time and date should be set set from the UbuntuMATE Preferences window for Time and Date**, for it to be globally applied to the system. The choices offered should be either as a regional/country/ISO default, or a personalized version of a regional/country/ISO default. This would involve a click-toggle to offer customization of any date/time field. This could include user-defined change of TimeZone, to a specified region/country, even if that TimeZone is different than the default, I suggest selectable by drop-down). Once that specification is chosen/edited, that format specification should be applied universally for all user-oriented interactions, with the exception of those that are core system (i.e. syslog and the like, which would use the regional/county/ISO default underlying the user's personalizations. Something like that was previously offered in one of the older Ubuntu distros (somewhere between 10 and 16) but I can't remember which one. ===================================================================== and here (https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/616#issuecomment-2305779056), where I stated: I have this bash logic which I would like to see merged into Caja as an option for global time formatting. Would that be possible? (I would like it for the ls command, but I don't think that you handle that. :-) ) Create customized version of ‘ls l’ to report on files during the progress of the script. Key aspect is that, if the modification is older than 24 hours, it reports only the date; otherwise it reports only the time of the last change using the 24-hour clock. myLs() { #eval stat --format=\"\|\%A\|\%h\|\%s\|\%y\|\%n\|\" \"${1}\" eval stat --format=\"\|\%A\|\%h\|\%s\|\%Y\|\%n\|\" \"${1}\" | awk -v now=${time_now} '{ n=split( $0, vals, "|" ) ; #mult24=( (1.0*now) - vals[5] )/86400 ; #print mult24 ; # 86400 seconds in a 24 hour period if( ( (1.0*now) - vals[5] )/86400 > 1 ){ printf("%s %2s %15s %10s %s\n", vals[2], vals[3], vals[4], strftime("%F", vals[5]), vals[6] ) ; }else{ printf("%s %2s %15s %9s %s\n", vals[2], vals[3], vals[4], strftime("%R:%S", vals[5]), vals[6] ) ; } ; }' } ===================================================================== Thank you in advance for your consideration and, hopefully your acceptance of this feature request.
