Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lightdm
When I moved from gdm to lightdm, I now get an invalid locale: $ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Kann LC_ALL nicht auf die Standard-Lokale einstellen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden LANG=de LANGUAGE=de:en LC_CTYPE="de" LC_NUMERIC="de" LC_TIME="de" LC_COLLATE="de" LC_MONETARY="de" LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_PAPER="de" LC_NAME="de" LC_ADDRESS="de" LC_TELEPHONE="de" LC_MEASUREMENT="de" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de" LC_ALL= It seems it takes the "de" from my ~/.dmrc, which was set up that way by gdm: $ cat .dmrc [Desktop] Language=de Langlist=de:en LCMess=de_DE.UTF-8 Layout=us Session=gnome >From that, gdm sets LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de:en while lightdm sets LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 LANG=de LANGUAGE=de:en I'm not entirely sure how gdm derives an appropriate $LANG locale name from just a language name. I'm subscribing Gunnar about this. BTW, I noticed that the current lightdm does not have a language/keyboard chooser at all any more. It used to have one a week or two ago? ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793366 Title: Sets $LANG to invalid value "de" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
