Public bug reported: here is the reference to a mail thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/edubuntu- [EMAIL PROTECTED]/index.html#00558 the starting post was: <quote> hello everybody, following problem. I have a computer that runs the ltsp server. my wife has an account on the machine in italian language. mostly everything is in italian: menues, open office, etc. now when she logs on to the server the taskbar is in italian. when she uses a different computer, boots over the network, selects italian and then logs on, the menus are still italian, but the (top) taskbar is in english. strange isn't it? </quote> after some discussion, it turned out, that there is a problem in the (python) file: /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ldm the lang_command was not properly constructed resulting in (excerpt from hte command "locale" on the client): LANGUAGE=it_IT.UTF-8.UTF-8 LANG=it_IT.UTF-8.UTF-8 LTSP_CLIENT="server" ESPEAKER=192.168.0.53:16001 as you see, ".UTF-8" is duplicated, causing the problem. changing line 170 to: lang_command = 'LC_ALL='+lang+' LANGUAGE='+lang+ ' LANG='+lang ... solved the problem. the other locales also worked fine, both on the server and on the clients booting to the server. uwe geercken ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Edubuntu LTSP Client displays taskbar in wrong language https://launchpad.net/bugs/82427 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
