Bug ID: 449128
Summary: Plasma does not check whether configured locale is
valid and installed on the system
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.23.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_language
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: spleefe...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Plasma does not check whether the configured locale is actually valid/present
on the system.
One can set
```
[Formats]
LANG=broken
```
in `~/.config/plasma-localerc` and Plasma will happily take it without a
question.
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma sets broken locale
EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma warns user that locale is broken through a notification with information
how to fix this.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.16.2-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This happens for example when the system has a broken/non-installed language in
/etc/locale.conf and the user launches Plasma. Or they later regenerate locales
without the language Plasma is configured with.
`localectl list-locales` or `locale -a` could possibly be used for detection of
currently installed languages.
