I have what seems to be a variant of the same problem, but not fixable with the workaround mentioned above. I upgraded a couple of days ago from Ubuntu Gnome 17.4 to Ubuntu 17.10, and now various of my global locale settings are incorrect in Gnome Shell 3.26. I set all the LC_* variables to "en_GB.UTF-8" in /etc/default/locale, but the shell opens with a lot of them changed to Spanish equivalents (I live in Spain):
bash-4.4$ locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.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= Switching from gdm3 to lightdm makes no difference. Starting fvwm instead of Gnome on xorg shows that the problem doesn't exist there, but -- to my surprise -- it does exist if I start Gnome flashback on Compiz. I can't try Unity, as it says my stored display settings prevent it from opening. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631750 Title: Language installation doesn't work in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 Settings app To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1631750/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
