Package: gdm Version: 2.20.9-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
when I set the language at the login screen to german, it's restarting and the interface is in german. When logging into Gnome however, the desktop and all Gnome applications are in english again. I understood that the language is somehow controlled by the .dmrc file. It contains [Desktop] Session=gnome Language=de_DE.UTF-8 which seems correct (and has permission 0600). Also the $GDM_LANG environment variable is set to de_DE.UTF-8 . This is the output of "locale -a" in a gnome terminal, so german is definitely available. C de_DE de...@euro de_DE.iso88591 de_de.iso885...@euro de_DE.utf8 deutsch en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 german POSIX Output of "locale": LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 which is the system default. I have localepurge installed by the way, but I had the german locale enabled eversince, so I don't think it deleted anything missing now.
