The problem ist, that at the moment it is neccessary to have the locale definition in two different places:
/etc/environment /etc/default/locale This is redundant and confusing. the first is used by gdm (and therefore for the whole gnome-session), for example. the later is used by /etc/pam.d/login (in addition to /etc/environment, but /etc/default/locale wins). If you login in a tty, for example. So the problem is, that LANG has to be adjusted in both places to successfully switch from one locale to another. Now, that debian policy says not to use /etc/environmnt all programms should use /etc/default/locale instead, shouldn't they? -- gdm should not use locale settings from /etc/environment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160984 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
