Thanks for suggesting a re-reading, Daniel. Could you please provide the solution? I have the same problem and the thread is all but clear to me. In my case, the solution was to remove the (incorrect) LANG and LC_ALL assignments I had edited into /etc/profile. The 02locale and locale.gen files did the job correctly. I tracked this down by putting a lot of debugging stuff in the various shell startup files. They looked like this: [ -e /etc/conf.d/D ] echo This is /etc/profile\; LANG is $LANG\; LC_ALL is $LC_ALL ... [ -e /etc/conf.d/D ] echo End of /etc/profile\; LANG is $LANG\; LC_ALL is $LC_ALL And I can switch them on and off by creating/rm-ing /etc/conf.d/D. This showed me where the variables were getting values, and what the values were. By the time I was done, I had them in ~/.bashrc ~/.mybashrc (you may or may not have this file) ~/.bash_profile /etc/profile /etc/bash/bashrc They are still there, but inactive since I have deleted /etc/conf.d/D (a file of my own creation). If you don't use bash, you'll have to design your own variant of this approach. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

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
