Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdm
My /etc/default/locale reads like this: #LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LANG="de_DE.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8" With this setup, the kdm init script /etc/init.d/kdm from kdm 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.2 fails due to a malformed sed expression in this line: $USESYSTEMLOCALE && sed -i "s|^#\?Language=.*|Language=`grep -re "LANG=" /etc/default/locale | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[\\"|.]" } { print $2 }'`|" $KDMCFG One possible solution is to grep for ^LANG instead of only LANG. Another would be to source /etc/default/locale and print $LANG afterwards. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kdm init script dies after editing system locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234253 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
