Why not place a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d that sources it? It can also be sourced in /etc/profile to cover text-mode logins.

The locales package maintainers are, IIRC, handling this transition but they actually recommend using both files signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That was the case for me. Shouldn't the system take care of it when I do a dpkg-reconfigure locales? $ cat /etc/default/locale # File generated by update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_DE:de:en_GB:en $ cat /etc/environment #LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" #LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 I'm sure I've heard that there is some transition going on to move the content of /etc/environment to /etc/default/locale, right? If I uncomment out the lines in /etc/environment everything works as expected again. So should I file a bug against KDE(M) for not respecting /etc/default/locale?

One solution is to set the proper locale in /etc/environment and ensure /etc/pam.d/*dm uses pam_env (this is what I did). Another, probably better, solution is to set the proper locale in ~/.xsession since that will affect only you instead of everyone that uses the computer.

locales broken?
Hi Devs, I know some weeks ago we had some major change in some package (I don't remember) which broke my locales. I am using UTF-8 (German) but my system is acting quite strange after the upgrade of the (unknown) package: - amarok refuses to play files with umlauts in the filename - firefox and thunderbird start with the English locale (German locales are installed) - I'm not able to enter umlauts in KDE's Konsole - aptitude in Linux-Console (without WindowManager) looks butt-ugly - ... My locale is still set to UTF-8 (German) but: $ env | grep -i lang $ I don't know which package to blame, so can somebody give me a hint and maybe a workaround?
