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?

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
