Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out where my locale is set. Here are some key points:
1) My laptop has a fresh Mepis 8.0 install on the root partition 2) /home is on a separate partition 3) My home directory has been copied from an historical location (i.e. I move the whole thing to a new machine when I upgrage). This means there is a lot of cruft in the .files and other places. 4) At some point in the past I got SCIM working for Japanese text input, and I seem to have set the locale to ja_JP 5) I can't find out how to change it back!! I have set my language preferences in the KDE control panel, but they have no effect. I have removed the LANG=ja_JP entry from .xsession, no effect. I have the 'locale' command, so I can see in a terminal that I have a Japanese locale. I do not have (and can't get) the 'setlocale' command. The net result is that when X starts some of my programs appear in Japanese. I need to set the locale back to en_NZ.UTF-8 or en-GB or en-US so that they start acting properly. Once I have done that I can use nabi for Korean text entry. A quick grep shows ja_JP is present in .xsession (commented out) .cshrc .cshrc.language-env-bak .Xresources .Xresources.language-env-bak .bashrc .bashrc.language-env-bak I don't know which one has the most significant effect, or if there are any others I should be aware of. Hints and tips would be appreciated. Best wishes, Andrew
