Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lightdm
When I moved from gdm to lightdm, I now get an invalid locale:
$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Kann LC_ALL nicht auf die Standard-Lokale einstellen: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
LANG=de
LANGUAGE=de:en
LC_CTYPE="de"
LC_NUMERIC="de"
LC_TIME="de"
LC_COLLATE="de"
LC_MONETARY="de"
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="de"
LC_NAME="de"
LC_ADDRESS="de"
LC_TELEPHONE="de"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de"
LC_ALL=
It seems it takes the "de" from my ~/.dmrc, which was set up that way by gdm:
$ cat .dmrc
[Desktop]
Language=de
Langlist=de:en
LCMess=de_DE.UTF-8
Layout=us
Session=gnome
>From that, gdm sets
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de:en
while lightdm sets
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=de
LANGUAGE=de:en
I'm not entirely sure how gdm derives an appropriate $LANG locale name
from just a language name. I'm subscribing Gunnar about this.
BTW, I noticed that the current lightdm does not have a
language/keyboard chooser at all any more. It used to have one a week or
two ago?
