It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects. Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this." It is correct that this is not intentional (it does seem antique). I have configured .mybashrc to set my LANG to "en_US", but nothing beyond that. What "distribution setup tools" is it referring to, so that I can correct this on gentoo? What have you set up in your /etc/locale.gen ? I won't take credit for setting this up, because I don't think I did. On the other hand, I've had occasion to internationalize a web page to dutch and polish, which appear in the list. So I dunno where it came from. But here's what's there: # /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system # # The format of each line: # <locale> <charmap> # # Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and # where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. # # All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. # # For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: # /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED # # Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically # rebuilt for you. After updating this file, you can simply run `locale-gen` # yourself instead of re-emerging glibc. en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 #ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP #ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 #ja_JP EUC-JP #en_HK ISO-8859-1 #en_PH ISO-8859-1 #de_DE ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 es_MX ISO-8859-1 #fa_IR UTF-8 fr_FR ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 #it_IT ISO-8859-1 pl_PL ISO-8859-15 This looks fine. If when you run $ locale you get a list with LANG=en_US but further down LC_ALL= (blank), then set export LC_ALL=xxx in your .bashrc to whatever you want your locale set to. Halfway there. I did that, and now "locale" looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL=en_US [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ However, when I start k3b from the KDE menus, it still complains. On the other hand, if I start k3b from the shell that gives the "locale" results above, it starts clean. So the issue seems to be that I need to inform KDE about the locale. I did a fresh boot, and that did not help, so I wonder if .mybashrc is the correct place to do this. try /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US" For details take a look at the localisation guide. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list The file /etc/env.d/02locale does not exist on my system. I can create it, of course, but I suspect I may be missing something. Is there a package I should emerge? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD I guarantee that those instructions will work for you. Check to see if you have 02locale in your /etc/env.d/ dir. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
