GDM locale problems
- by Simón
I have two problems with GDM on Ubuntu 10.04.
The first is with locales.
In my system I have defined:
$ cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="es_ES:es:en_US:en"
$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="es_ES:es:en_US:en"
$ cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
es_ES UTF-8
es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
But when I enter in gnome desktop:
$ locale
LANG=es_ES
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES"
LC_TIME="es_ES"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES"
LC_PAPER="es_ES"
LC_NAME="es_ES"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES"
LC_ALL=
I have deleted ~/.dmrc and I have restarted the system but nothing.
GDM login screen also doesn't permit change this setting.
However, in the text terminals (tty1,...):
$ locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
The solution to problem is to edit .drmc file, but I think this isn't the right way.
Why doesn't GDM read/apply the system locales? Why don't I see,
in GDM login screen, the box to change
the locale?
