Hmm... I've added all this in my /etc/env.d/02locale: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 22 |
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 23 |
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 24 |
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 25 |
LC_COLLATE="C" |
| 26 |
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 27 |
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 28 |
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 29 |
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 30 |
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 31 |
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 32 |
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 33 |
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
and in my ~/.bashrc |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
export LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 38 |
export LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 39 |
export LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 40 |
export LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 41 |
export LC_COLLATE="C" |
| 42 |
export LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 43 |
export LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 44 |
export LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 45 |
export LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 46 |
export LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 47 |
export LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 48 |
export LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 49 |
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
but this is what aterm is showing: |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
$ locale |
| 54 |
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 |
| 55 |
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 56 |
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 57 |
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 58 |
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 59 |
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 60 |
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 61 |
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 62 |
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 63 |
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 64 |
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 65 |
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 66 |
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" |
| 67 |
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
There's no mention of LANG or LC_*US* in /etc/profile.env, /etc/bash/bashrc, |
| 70 |
or anywhere else that I can see. So, where is it being read from? |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
PS. Not sure why LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 does not have " " marks like the LC_ |
| 73 |
parameters? |
