Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome
(Sorry about the package, not sure if this would be gnome-settings- daemon or something else?) Originally posted on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6287235. I want to manually control my LC_TIME settings independent of my LANG, so I... 1. Added 'export LC_TIME="en_DK.UTF-8"' (sans quotes) to my ~/.bashrc and my ~/.zshrc. (I use ZSH as my shell, but it didn't work if I switched to Bash either.) 2. Start an application from GNOME Terminal or Run (e.g. `zenity --calendar`, `date`): locale setting is used. 3. Start an application from the GNOME Panel, look at the Panel's date applet, etc.: locale setting is not used. Workaround: append 'LC_TIME="en_DK.UTF-8"' (sans quotes) to /etc/environment, and the setting is used by all applications, no matter how they are launched. (Thanks to Brucevdk on the forum for the tip!) So it would seem that user-set locale settings are not being picked up by GNOME properly. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 with GNOME 2.24 (gnome-settings-daemon 2.24.0-0ubuntu3.3). (This is possibly related to bug 68938, but that's old and closed, so I'm creating this new one rather than resurrecting that one.) ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Locale settings not respected in GNOME session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
