Under previous KDE versions setlocale.sh did not appear in System Administration>Startup and Shutdown>Autostart. I cannot say for sure whether the script itself previous ran from a system folder, but it did not appear in the settings module.
I am actually in the U.S.A. and prefer US English, but I had to change settings in Common Appearance and Behavior>Locale>Country/Region & Language sometime after an upgrade to Kubuntu 13.10 from 13.04. My country presently is set at "System Country ()" which appears confusing even though I understand the system wide setting should be US. Under Preferred Languages I have several options on the left, but the list on the right has a single empty selection. I already have trouble with applications like Firefox and Thunderbird defaulting to British dictionaries, so I don't want to add alternate English variants. It appears that the generic en (possible international English) as well as en_US is simply unavailable. I don't know for sure if this is a related bug or an additional bug due to an attempted bug fix. I have retained my KDE settings in my home folder under several upgrades from 12.04 LTS. I also have localepurge installed, but I have not had issues until recently. I only wonder if this is a bug in locale or the KDE settings module, or possibly an inherent flaw in the way that computer locales and languages are set up. For instance, historically the default computer interface language has been a generic form of English dominated by American English. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1204182 Title: Locale wrongly defaults to en_US.UTF8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1204182/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
