[Solved] LXDM LANG=C ignored

Hi,

I used to use "LANG=C pacman" as alias for "pacman", cause I like to have pacman output in englisch (normal locale is de_DE.utf8)

Since I switched to LXDM as LoginManager this does not work anymore.

[root@sunny michi]# LANG=C
[root@sunny michi]# echo $LANG
C
[root@sunny michi]# pacman -h 
Verwendung:  pacman <Operation> [...]
Operationen:
    pacman {-h --help}
    pacman {-V --version}
    pacman {-D --database} <Optionen> <Paket(e)>
    pacman {-Q --query}    [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
    pacman {-R --remove}   [Optionen] <Paket(e)>
    pacman {-S --sync}     [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
    pacman {-T --deptest}  [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
    pacman {-U --upgrade}  [Optionen] <Datei(en)>

Benutzen Sie 'pacman {-h --help}' zusammen mit einer Operation f?r verf?gbare Optionen

with SLiM and just startx it always worked.

Re: [Solved] LXDM LANG=C ignored

Post 'locale' and 'locale -a'.

Have you tried setting 'LC_MESSAGES=C'?

Re: [Solved] LXDM LANG=C ignored

See 'man locale'.

LANG is only used for locale variables that are unset or null. Obviously all your locale variables were already set, hence it didn't work
