Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
My locale was fr_FR.UTF-8. I upgraded Ubuntu today with the quasi-daily upgrates. The only update of today is gdm 2.30.5-0ubuntu4.1 Next time I logged in: - a dialog in english after login ask me to rename "Bureau" to "Desktop", "Vidéos" to "Videos"... - the system is now mostly in english In fact, the locale is now "fr_FR" instead of "fr_FR.UTF-8". "fr_FR" is not a valid locale (most software do not have LC_MESSAGES for it) so everything defaults to "C" which is english. locale -a : locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=fr_FR LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="fr_FR" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR" LC_TIME="fr_FR" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR" LC_PAPER="fr_FR" LC_NAME="fr_FR" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR" LC_ALL= This has happened on the two computers I where I did the upgrade.
