[Bug 124536] Re: GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale
Experiencing the same problem here on Ubuntu 7.10. My setting is to use German for the GDM login screen and for new user accounts (friends, guest account, etc.), but I want my own user to use an English session. However, GDM does *not* start with the previous language setting, which would work nicely, but it always mentions German, so that simply logging in would end me up with a German session (and the question if I want to make German my new default). An option to make GDM use previous language by default (and use the system setting (German) for new users, would be perfect. On my old PC this actually worked, but with my current (new) installation, it doesn't. -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 124536] Re: GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale
Sorry for the noise. I just logged out again to try some more things, and there it was: previous language. So yes, it works again. I have no idea why it didn't work the last 10 or so times I logged out and in again, but now GDM allows me to simply use the previously set language for any user. :-) -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 124536] Re: GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale
As far as I understand the bug, I can confirm it: I have german for GDM LOGIN screen. German is also the default for user sessions. Steps to reproduce: 1. Type your username and press Enter 2. Type your password 3. Now choose a language in GDM menu: Options Select language, for example in this case English USA 4. There pops up a dialog which asks you if GDM LOGIN screen shall be restarted with new language setting. 5. Click on No because I want to keep german for my GDM LOGIN screen. 6. Then there pops up another dialog which asks you if you want to make the new language setting the default for your GNOME SESSION 7. Click on Make default because I want to have my GNOME SESSION in english 8. Log out of your Gnome session 9. GDM LOGIN screen still has german as language what's correct 10. Now login to your Gnome session with same user from step 1 Results: After logging in Gnome again, german is the language for the GNOME SESSION which is WRONG, because I want to have ghe GNOME SESSION in english! Exptected behavior: It must be possible to have GDM LOGIN screen for example in german but your GNOME SESSIONS in english for example! -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'd say he means the session since he mentions that it's GNOME which isn't displaying in English. -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thank you for your bug. Your description is not really clear. Are you trying to change the locale for the user session or the login dialog? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium = Low Status: New = Incomplete -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

What doesn't appear in the language you selected after rebooting, only the login screen or everything? ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 124536] Re: GDM login doesn't respect/stick the chosen locale
everything which is translated. Just to make sure I don't take you guys down the wrong road. I installed ubuntu 7.10 then xubuntu 7.10 on top of it. AFAIK Both use GDM for login, the only difference is the login screen (graphical wise) otherwise its the same thing. Even doing [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps -A | grep gdm 4677 ?00:00:00 gdm 4678 ?00:00:00 gdm so its definitely gdm which I am using. This is explicity to do with using English language (making it System default) , it doesn't stick. After rebooting, the whole login screen , everything which has been translated into hindi is using hindi. If I use GNOME then large parts of it are translated and hence it shows hindi. Doing a quick locale shows me :- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale LANG=hi_IN.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_TIME=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_NAME=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=hi_IN.UTF-8 LC_ALL= If I want to change to English, at each reboot I have (emphasis on have) to say I want to use English not hindi . Making it System default doesn't do anything. GDM package version is 2.19.3-0ubuntu on gutsy gibbon 7.10 tribe 2.
