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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
