I have what seems to be a variant of the same problem, but not fixable with the workaround mentioned above. I upgraded a couple of days ago from Ubuntu Gnome 17.4 to Ubuntu 17.10, and now various of my global locale settings are incorrect in Gnome Shell 3.26. I set all the LC_* variables to "en_GB.UTF-8" in /etc/default/locale, but the shell opens with a lot of them changed to Spanish equivalents (I live in Spain):
bash-4.4$ locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_NAME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Switching from gdm3 to lightdm makes no difference. Starting fvwm instead of Gnome on xorg shows that the problem doesn't exist there, but -- to my surprise -- it does exist if I start Gnome flashback on Compiz. I can't try Unity, as it says my stored display settings prevent it from opening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631750 Title: Language installation doesn't work in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 Settings app Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: What happens ============ 1. From a terminal in Ubuntu GNOME, enter gnome-control-center region My locale is set to en_US so my terminal emits common-cc-panel-WARNING **: Language en_US.UTF-8 not installed, trying to install it 2. Click Language. 3. Click the 3-dot "more" button at the bottom of the popup. 4. Select French (France). Click Done. My terminal emits: common-cc-panel-WARNING **: Language fr_FR not installed, trying to install it French isn't actually installed. What should happen ================== PackageKit should install French. Language in the main window should change from English (United States) to French (France). Unfortunately because of how the system works, it would still require a log out and log in for the change to actually take effect. Other Info =========== Installation of audio/video codes appears to work just fine: 1. Uninstall the extra codecs (assuming you clicked the box in the installer to install third-party softwarel) sudo apt uninstall ubuntu-restricted-addons sudo apt autoremove Download this file https://archive.org/download/buckminsterfullereverythingiknow01/01001.rm It opens in Totem and session-installer prompts to install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly.
