locale nightmare ...

Hi,

I keep getting these messages when running xterm (& other apps)

Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Failed to open input method

I have locale set in /etc/profile

#
# /etc/profile
#

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin"

export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"
export LESSCHARSET="latin1"
export INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"
export LESS="-R"

# Locale settings (find your locale with 'locale -a')
export LANG="en_GB"
export LC_COLLATE="en_GB"

export COLUMNS LINES

export PS1='[u@h W]$ '
export PS2='> '

umask 022

if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "$TERM" = "xterm-color" -o "$TERM" = "rxvt" -o "$TERM" = "xterm-xfree86" ]; then
  PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "33]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}07"'
fi

# load profiles from /etc/profile.d
#  (to disable a profile, just remove execute permission on it)
for profile in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
  if [ -x $profile ]; then
    . $profile
  fi
done
unset profile

Wondered If I got something else wrong .....?

Re: locale nightmare ...

Hmmm, ok couple of things:
what's in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_GB.UTF-8 ?

can you try: en_GB.UTF-8 as the locale... *shrug*

are there locale settings anywhere else that would conflict?

try setting LANGUAGE="en_GB.UTF-8" also? (that's a GNU extension)

try replacing LC_COLLATE with LC_ALL...

I'm pulling at straws right now... never really bothered with locales (en_US)

Re: locale nightmare ...

Its just that since loading new KDE (& maybe even Gnome) things are taking longer to load ....

& I get odd error messages .... (I hate error messages means something needs fixing yet it works;-S)

Never had a problem like this before ... I'll keep searching ;-)

cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/
[mrgreen@Arch locale]$ ls
compose.dir  locale.alias  locale.dir

Re: locale nightmare ...

hmmm, I'm not at my box, but I think I have a huge mess of symlinks in that dir.... I'll check for sure later on tonight...

Re: locale nightmare ...

I don't have en_GB.UTF-8. Here's what I get:

Maybe try to reinstall xorg.

Re: locale nightmare ...

FYI en_GB is just a symlink to en_US for most of it... you could probably link the dirs
