[opensuse] Where to define environment variables for Gnome?

2008-01-20 Thread Frank Hrebabetzky
Was: LANG wrong on Gnome
I didn't get any response, so I try it again with another headline:

After installation of Suse 10.3 everything worked well, but from one day
on I have been getting frequently the following error message:
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale
Then I got aware that
echo $LANG
executed on a virtual terminal on my Gnome desktop results in
C
So I tried:
- yast-sysconfig-System-Environment-Language: RC_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  (leaving all other RC_... empty)
- ~/.profile:   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
- /etc/profile.local:   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
but nothing helped. When logging in at a text console (ctrl-alt-F1),
then LANG has the expected value (en_US.UTF-8).

How can I track down the problem?

[opensuse] LANG wrong on Gnome

Hi,

[opensuse] Umlaute and accents stopped working

2007-11-29 Thread Frank Hrebabetzky
I have english as primary keyboard layout and german and english as
additional ones. Everything worked just fine until 2 days ago. I don't
know what I did, but since then switching to german layout turns my
umlaut keys into dead keys and in portuguese I don't have accents any
more. The other keyboard specifics work (y-z exchange and position of
non-alphanumeric characters).

Any idea what I could try?

Thanks in advance.

[opensuse] Yast: installed software (Java) not at disposal

2007-06-26 Thread Frank Hrebabetzky
I installed the whole Suse 10.2 via web from repositories using Yast.
All the installations described below were done with Yast, too.

Platform: i386, Suse 10.2, Gnome desktop.

Together with Gnome, java-1_4_2-cacao was installed.

Nevertheless, when I installed Azureus (a java application), Yast
required java-1_5_0-sun, so I installed that too it. When I called
azureus from a text terminal, it just responded with Cannot find java
virtual machine, aborting..

Then I installed java-1_5_0-sun-plugin. Yast sad it needed
java-1_5_0-sun, so it seemed not to be installed. Installed it again.
Now, Java works as mozilla plugin, but nothing changed with respect to
azureus.

Tried some tricks I found on the web such as adding directories to the
PATH, but all I got was a segmentation fault, so I changed that back.
Deinstalling and installing java-1_5_0-sun, java-1_5_0-sun-plugin and
azureus didn't change anything.

Any idea around?
