Hey there, |
2 |
I've been having some problems with GDM recently (freeze after reboot, |
3 |
freeze after suspend) so I thought I'd give lightdm a shot. |
4 |
So far everything works great, but I cannot set a language for a lightdm |
5 |
session. |
6 |
|
7 |
My system locale is set to en_US.utf8 because when working with command |
8 |
line tools I prefere if they talk english to me. |
9 |
But I like my Desktop (everything running under X) to be in german. With |
10 |
GDM that was no problem: just set the system locale to english and |
11 |
create a .dmrc file in the home directory where you set |
12 |
'Language=de_DE.UTF-8' |
13 |
|
14 |
Lightdm ignores that file. After some google foo I found that if you |
15 |
edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and set |
16 |
'show-language-selector=true' you can choose a language before logging |
17 |
in (like with GDM) - however, I can choose what i wan't, my Desktop is |
18 |
still in english. |
19 |
|
20 |
So far it seems that nothing works, except setting the system's default |
21 |
locale to german in /etc/env.d/02locale - but that's not what I want. |
22 |

Do you have any thoughts? |
