[branden@deadbeast.net: [ernst_sonnleitner@freenet.de: xdm don't run his start script with german settings (LANG=de_DE)]]
Ernst, I *think* the end problem is, XF86 uses a different set of locale names than FSF's glibc uses. I don't know the answer. Branden and (ben?) have exchanged a few emails in debian-x about possible solutions/sources of the problem. The debian-x archives may be interesting reading. Until something is figured out (or someone reminds me of what the fix was, if there is a fix already :) I would suggest setting your locale information on a per-process basis. - Forwarded message from Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Envelope-to: sarnold@localhost Delivery-date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:08:41 -0800 Resent-Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 15:06:21 -0800 (PST) X-Envelope-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 17:46:12 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [[EMAIL PROTECTED]: xdm don't run his start script with german settings (LANG=de_DE)] Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Branden Robinson) Resent-Message-ID: lHmhfC.A.u_.2qqN6@murphy Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailing-List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive/latest/1991 X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: list Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Bcc: - Forwarded message from Ernst Sonnleitner [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Ernst Sonnleitner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: xdm don't run his start script with german settings (LANG=de_DE) Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 21:33:28 +0100 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; from [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Mon, Dec 11, 2000 at 10:31:48PM -0500 Organization: nobody is perfect Hello If I don't set locale xdm work well - login with user/password -my windowsmanager starts es@sonnleitner:~$ locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" - If I set my "locale" with /etc/language-de #!/bin/sh # $Id: language-de,v 1.4 1998/02/20 18:34:36 leutloff Exp $ # settings for german speaking users set LANG LANG=de_DE export LANG and activates it with /etc/X11/Xsession: if [ -f /etc/language-de ]; then source /etc/language-de; fi /etc/profile: if [ -f /etc/language-de ]; then source /etc/language-de; fi es@sonnleitner:~$ locale LANG=de_DE LC_CTYPE="de_DE" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE" LC_TIME="de_DE" LC_COLLATE="de_DE" LC_MONETARY="de_DE" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE" LC_PAPER="de_DE" LC_NAME="de_DE" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE" LC_ALL= xdm started but after the loginscreen, after user/password return there is only one xterm open, no windowmanager started.
