Description Bastien Nocera 2006-11-16 11:09:05 UTC

1. Install RHEL5 in Japanese
2. Boot up in text mode

The date will show up garbled (something like 2006年 11月 16日 木曜日 11:07:00
GMT, but without a UTF-8 capable font)

lang.sh needs to set LC_TIME to en_US to avoid garbled display on bootup.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2006-11-16 11:20:32 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2006-11-16 18:37:17 UTC

Why isn't LC_TIME inherited from $LANG?

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2006-11-16 18:41:47 UTC

Also, is this only on bootup?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2006-11-16 20:15:59 UTC

Also also, what version of initscripts?

I'm on crack. I checked this when lang.sh wasn't there. The old initscript used
to change LC_MESSAGES.
