[SOLVED] Locale not activating (LANG=C)

I have enabled a locale  in /etc/locale.gen, ran locale-gen as root, rebooted and my locale is still "C".

I have multiple users for sandboxing purposes and each of those users has the C locale.

// locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

// locale -a
C
POSIX
en_GB.utf8

Maybe you're still exporting it somewhere:

Re: [SOLVED] Locale not activating (LANG=C)

Did you also set the required locale in /etc/locale.conf?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
