[solved] Where did /etc/profile.d/locale.sh go?

languitar · 2012-09-01 22:18:26

Hi,

I just did a major upgrade of my desktop computer and after struggling with all the changes to rc.conf and the new config files ended up with a system, where my locale settings were completely broken. In the end it seems to boil down to the fact that no package provides /etc/profile.d/locale.sh anymore and hence the chosen locale from /etc/locale.conf is not assigned to my users.

Does anyone know whether this is intentional or just a transitional issue?

Cheers,
Johannes

Did you do a full system update (-Syu)?

$ pacman -Qo /etc/profile.d/locale.sh 
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh is owned by filesystem 2012.8-1

what's your version of filesystem - and is your pkgfile database up to date?

$ pkgfile locale.sh
core/filesystem

//Edit: try reinstalling filesystem... maybe you unintentionally deleted locale.sh yourself?
//Edit2: oh and don't forget this when you use pkgfile with full path:

Note that full paths in the search database do not begin with a /.

That's weird, I tried reinstalling several times and never ended up with the locale.sh being on my disk. Now after a restart it worked immediately. No idea what this was.

Thanks for the help and the hint with pkgfile.

Thank you matse, reinstall filesystem solved this problem for me.
