[Bug 506396] Re: locale is not set
I would like to add that this issue may not be closed yet. I have just upgraded to version 10.04 I have a locale issue. If I log in as a user running the command "locale" the following results are obtained. (This is also the same if I run sudo locale). LANG=en_CA.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= if I log in as root, I get LANG=C LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL= /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en contains the following en_CA.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_IN UTF-8 en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_NZ.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_PH.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_NG UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_BW.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_AG UTF-8 en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_IE.UTF-8 UTF-8 /etc/default/locale contains LANG="en_CA.ISO-8859-1" /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local contains: en_CA.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 Why is the root user not acquireing the same language settings as the general user?

[Bug 506396] Re: locale is not set
Mine is fine: [Desktop] Session=default Language=en_GB.utf8 Layout=gb I've not had the problem since I reset the setting in gdm, so perhaps it was just a transient upgrade issue. We probably ought to close this if it isn't showing up on upgrades. -- locale is not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 506396] Re: locale is not set
ah, thanks for clarifying. Do you have a boken "Language=" setting in ~/.dmrc ? You can pick your language in the gdm greeter, perhaps this was set to an invalid value instead of "English (Australia)"? ** Package changed: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) => gdm (Ubuntu) -- locale is not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No, I see the correct output using the console, I get the problem when running X Anyway, I have reinstalled from Alpha 2 and now don't have the problem. The previous system I was using that had the problem was an upgrade from Karmic.

Hi Martin, It is possible that the bug I encountered was not the same as the OP, so I'm sorry for re-assigning to GDM if that is not the case. In my case, however.. the system locale (as used by the TTY consoles) was correct, and it was GDM which reset the locale back to "C". Perhaps Mike can confirm whether he also sees "C" locale on the console. (Assuming that his report was based upon testing from within X). -- locale is not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
