Bug ID: 423995
Summary: Plasma 5.19.3 overwrites systemwide locale settings
despite "no change" is selected in kcm_formats
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.19.3
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_formats
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Since Plasma 5.19.3 (upgraded from 5.19.2) my clock and all other applications
changed from the German time format to the US format.
Somehow Plasma does no longer respect my global / system wide settings of
LANG/LC_ environment variables despite the fact, that I have selected "no
change" and disabled the checkbox "detailed settings" in kcm_formats.
This is traceable using the commands locale and env inside plasma and on some
TTY:
INSIDE PLASMA
$ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_"
LANGUAGE=
LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=en_US.utf8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=en_US.utf8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
ON TTY
$ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_"
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8
LC_COLLATE=C
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"

I have tried to delete ~/.config/plasma-localerc, but this did not changed
anything. The config was recreated using the following settings.
$ cat ~/.config/plasma-localerc
