Bug ID: 366232
Summary: Konsole sets $LANG to en_US.US-ASCII on startup and
tab creation
Product: konsole
Version: 16.04.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: dsgamec...@gmail.com
If Konsole isn't told specifically not to (via the environment variable list in
the profile settings area), it sets $LANG to en_US.US-ASCII when launched,
overriding the default locale.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit the current Konsole profile, setting at least one environment variable
and not setting $LANG. Apply your changes.
2. Open a new tab
3. Check $LANG
Actual Results:
$LANG is en_US.US-ASCII
Expected Results:
$LANG should be en_US.UTF-8, which is the only locale generated on the system
and the only one uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and specified in
/etc/locale.conf.
An incorrect $LANG, especially if that locale doesn't exist on the system,
causes problems for mandb, among other things. I first noticed it because mandb
errored when installing packages via pacman.
