cannot set locale (systemd)
 

After upgrading systemd (189-3) and filesystem (2012.8-1) my locale
isn't en_US.UTF-8 anymore. Instead, it defaults to C.

# cat /etc/locale.conf:
LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C

# locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

I tried to run /etc/profile.d/locale.sh manually, but nothing changed.
If i manually export LANG="en_US.UTF-8", it works, but i suspect it's
not the "correct" way.

So, is there a bug, or i am just missing something?

Do you have a $HOME/.config/locale.conf? What does it contain?

Could you put some debug output in the if/else block to figure out
what is happening? E.g.,


if [ -n "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ] && [ -r "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/locale.conf" ]; then
echo "using XDG_CONFIG_HOME"
. "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/locale.conf"
elif [ -n $HOME ] && [ -r $HOME/.config/locale.conf ]; then
echo "using HOME"
. "$HOME/.config/locale.conf"
elif [ -r /etc/locale.conf ]; then
echo "using system-wide"
. /etc/locale.conf
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
echo "using rc.conf"
LANG=$(. /etc/rc.conf 2>/dev/null; echo "$LOCALE")
fi

And then run it manually to see what is happening.

Cheers,

Tom

Hello,


LANG is the variable you should set in locale.conf. See
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale#Setting_system-wide_locale

Thanks, it's working now. I gave the wiki a quick look, but this
information skipped my attention. Sorry for the noise and thanks again.

cannot set locale (systemd)
 

My system was already properly configured, but after last update,
everything is en_US.

You can put your local in /etc/environment or in ~/.pam_environment.

Both /etc/locale.conf and /etc/environment have this lines:

LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C

And my system (LXDM + XFCE) keeps en_US.

If you log in on the terminal (i.e. without starting X), do you get g the
correct locale?

Cheers,

cannot set locale (systemd)
 

Typing locale, I get this:

[tomas@archbook ~]$ locale
LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

If i call date, get this:

[tomas@archbook ~]$ date
Sex Ago 31 12:46:31 BRT 2012

Date says it's Sexta (Friday) in Agosto (August). So I think my locale
configuration is partially correct. Isn't it?
