What does /etc/default/locale contains? Did you log out and log in again after doing all the changes? Could you please also attach /etc/pam.d/login which should be responsible for loading the locale changes? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
