Package: kde-core Version: 5:45 Followup-For: Bug #361830
Hello, I don't think there's a way to set individual locale variables before KDE starts. On my system, KDE is started by GDM via the regular 'kdestart' script. It doesn't read any dot-files such as dot.profile, dot.bash_profile, dot.bashrc. Although I can specify one variable (LANG, I suppose) in GDM itself, I prefer to have a more complex locale configuration. Gnome runs dot.gnomerc in the user's $HOME, where locales can be set. It would be handy if there was a way to get KDE to read either the user's dot-files or source a dedicated script like Gnome does. Thanks in advance, Wouter PS: FWIW, my settings are nl_BE with LC_MESSAGES set to en_GB and date set to en_DK.ISO-8859-1 to get ISO-8601 dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Currently, it's not possible to set LC_TIME to en_DK from within KDE, nor would there be a reason to if the dot-files are read in somewhere along the KDE starting process. PPS: Come to think of it, perhaps this should be discussed with login manager maintainers... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages kde-core depends on: ii arts 1.5.2-1 sound system from the official KDE ii fontconfig 2.3.2-5.1 generic font configuration library ii kdebase 4:3.5.2-1 base components from the official ii kdelibs 4:3.5.2-2 core libraries from the official K kde-core recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
