Affects a wider range of environment variables and also 8.04 I am regularly setting my application language to something different to test translation work I am doing. This is not respected either since approximately the same time as above bug was reported
e.g (on Ubuntu 8.10, en_UK locale for main gnome session) export LC_ALL=ar_EG; gnomesword Error message : (gnomesword:15597): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. And export LC_ALL=ar_EG; locale gives: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ar_EG" LC_NUMERIC="ar_EG" LC_TIME="ar_EG" LC_COLLATE="ar_EG" LC_MONETARY="ar_EG" LC_MESSAGES="ar_EG" LC_PAPER="ar_EG" LC_NAME="ar_EG" LC_ADDRESS="ar_EG" LC_TELEPHONE="ar_EG" LC_MEASUREMENT="ar_EG" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ar_EG" LC_ALL=ar_EG -- 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
