(In reply to comment #0) > Fedora uses for Russian language incorrect local "ru_RU.utf8" which is > incorrect, it should be "ru_RU.UTF-8". This is not true: at least I cannot reproduce this. I am not sure how you are getting .utf8? When I tried now on my F9 machine system-config-language correctly sets the locale to ru_RU.UTF-8. What is the content of your /etc/sysconfig/i18n file? Can you reproduce for a new user? I suspect you may have some user configuration overriding the locale setting perhaps? Because of well-known bug with Russian installer I installed the system in English and then switched to Russian locale with system-config-language. /etc/sysconfig/i18n: LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" [nxx@fedora-pc ~]$ locale LANG=ru_RU.utf8 LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.utf8" LC_TIME="ru_RU.utf8" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.utf8" LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.utf8" LC_PAPER="ru_RU.utf8" LC_NAME="ru_RU.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.utf8" LC_ALL= (In reply to comment #2) > Because of well-known bug with Russian installer I installed the system in > English and then switched to Russian locale with system-config-language. Do you have more details about that? We should try to check that. > /etc/sysconfig/i18n: > LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" > [nxx@fedora-pc ~]$ locale > LANG=ru_RU.utf8 Do you have any locale settings in .i18n or shell config files? Can you answer: (In reply to comment #1) > Can you reproduce for a new user? I suspect you may > have some user configuration overriding the locale setting perhaps? requested by Jens Petersen (#27995) I realised this is caused by gdm. Still happens with current rawhide too.

gdm-2.23.92-utf8.patch
This patch seems to fix the problem at least.
But users who have set language from gdm should really be migrated from .utf8 to .UTF-8 automatically.
So that patch isn't right, because it won't turn "utf8" to "UTF-8" The point is to take all legal variations of the locale and turn it into one format so they can be compared and indexed in a hash table. This should be working better in 2.23.92-8 Can you confirm? Hmm, seems to segfault for me when displaying the language menu popup dialog. not sure if/how the crash is related to my changes, but i've fixed it in -9 Thanks looks good now. This patch is not applied to gdm 2.30.4-39 which is part of RHEL6.4 Should it be? We are eperiencing the same issue. |
