Re: gdm locale problem..

Maybe you can change the subject of this thread, as the issue is not only related to gdm, IMHO.
I don't get it either. Settings are LOCALE="sv_SE"  and KEYMAP="sv-latin1" in rc.conf and locale -a gives me

[root@localhost ~]# locale -a 
C
POSIX
sv_SE
sv_SE.iso88591
swedish

But something is still wrong, because calling up some manpages gives me

Cannot open the message catalog "man" for locale "sv_SE"
(NLSPATH="<none>")

I ran locale-gen, but I'm pretty lost in this locale business too...

Re: gdm locale problem..

When excute the startx in bashshell, the locale setting in '.xinitrc'  works well
and I can write Korean  in English mode.
I think my locale setting has no problem.
Only when login in gdm, locale LC_CTYPE is not setted.
Which config files is related to gdm??
/$home/.xprofile and .profile is not useful...

Re: gdm locale problem..

My problem is very similar. Only that for me it's not gdm that causes problems, but man.
Sorry, but I cannot help you. I hope someone who knows his way around these settings can point us in the right direction...

Re: gdm locale problem..

Yeah I am having the same problems as raroman for swedish manual pages. I tried to change my locales to en_US, and setting the LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES to en_US, and now I get »No manual entry for ....» for a lot of programs... Is there a package to install extra man pages?
