But we should really avoid doing that, as it can never be correct for $LANG. It's fine for LC_MESSAGES and LC_CTYPE. > The main problem is that LANG represents regional formats in > Oneiric, not language. $LANG has always been defined to specify a locale, not a language. This is neither Oneiric nor Ubuntu specific, but standard gettext/POSIX behaviour. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868149 Title: Need to set $LANG from .dmrc for backwards compatibility To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/868149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
