This is it, ignore my message. Can't believe I missed that :) -t

My system was already properly configured, but after last update, everything is en_US. -- Tomás Schertel ---------------------------------------------- Linux Registered User #304838 Arch Linux User http://www.archlinux.org/ ---------------------------------------------- On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 6:48 AM, Thanos Zygouris < athanasios.zygouris@gmail.com> wrote:

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?

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.

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. -- Tomás Schertel ---------------------------------------------- Linux Registered User #304838 Arch Linux User http://www.archlinux.org/ ---------------------------------------------- On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 11:05 AM, Sébastien Luttringer wrote:

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.

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

Cheers,

I believe XFCE uses LC_MESSAGES to set its language.

It was working right before last update. What changed?

Nothing, unless you haven't changed your locale configuration or a package changed it, but then you would have had at least a *.pacnew file. Heiko

No, it uses C, because Xfce unfortunately uses LC_MESSAGES, not LANG, to set its locale. To get pt_BR.UTF-8 in Xfce you need to remove LC_MESSAGES=C. If you need the messages in the terminal with the locale C for filing bug reports e.g., I'd suggest you to always prefix the command with LC_MESSAGES=C or set an alias for those commands. This issue has nothing to do with systemd, btw. Heiko
