Public bug reported: GDM is ignoring the LC_MESSAGES environment variable as set by the Language Support option when clicking apply system wide for the regional settings with a different desktop display language.
This means that if you set a region different than the language in which you choose to display the desktop and use the apply system wide, GDM will display in the language of the region setting instead of the one the desktop is displayed in. Steps to reproduce: 1. Have your desktop set to some language and your region to the same. 2. Change your region setting and press apply system wide. 3. Logout and view the language GDM is in ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: gdm 2.32.1-0ubuntu3.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.50-generic 2.6.38.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Oct 13 02:14:31 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 natty running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873128 Title: GDM ignores LC_MESSAGES (as set by Language Support) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/873128/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
