I am not sure if this is related, but I am experiencing problems with GDM overriding language selections I apply on a per-programme basis via the env variable.
Normally, when I select Chinese (China) at the login screen, I can still run programmes in English by prepending an env argument, e.g. "env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 firefox". That way I can run an English instance of Firefox in a Chinese language Ubuntu session. This was working fine up to Lucid. Maverick was the first Ubuntu release that caused problems. After installing Maverick, whatever language I specified at the login screen would stick, and I couldn't run programmes in an alternative language by prepending env. The issue disappeared somewhere along the way after an update, though. However, I just finished setting up a fresh install of Natty and the problem reappaeared. Is this related to this bug or described somewhere else? Has somebody else experienced similar problems? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553162 Title: Set $LANGUAGE if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
