Description of problem: Fresh install of FC4 i386 with Polish choosen as instalation language. Polish and British language packages were choosen during install. After install /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains: LANG="pl" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" LANG setting is incorrect and should be pl_PL for iso8859-2 charset or pl_PL.UTF8 for UTF8 charset. locale, when run, complains: locale: cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: no such file or directory locale: cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: no such file or directory locale: cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: no such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install as described 2. check /etc/sysconfig/i18n after reboot after install Actual results: Wrong systemwide locale setting Expected results: Correct systemwide locale setting Additional info: I am not 100% sure, but I don't think I had this problem when installing x86_64 version.
How did you select your language? By passing lang= on the command line or by selecting it in the UI? Also, CD install?
Network install with iso images exported by nfs, with kernel and initrd.img loaded by pxelinux. Kernel commandline: initrd=FC4.i386/initrd.img ip=dhcp \ method=nfs:gklab-59-004:/local/Fedora lang=pl keymap=pl Now when I think about it, installation of x86_64 version I mentioned previously was a DVD install with all choices made in anaconda UI.
If you boot with lang=pl_PL.UTF-8, that'll fix it Chris -- we should canonicalize these.
