Description of problem: When booting up linux (using non-English language), Console trys to display a local date format, but console cannot non-ascii character.(ie. Japanese) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Set system Language Japanese. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set system Language Japanese(or other non-English language). 2. Reboot. Actual results: When booting sequence starting, display unreadable characters. Expected results: I think it should be display English time format. In /etc/rc.sysinit, line 145, From: action $"Setting clock $CLOCKDEF: `date`" /bin/true To: action $"Setting clock $CLOCKDEF: `LC_ALL=C date`" /bin/true after changed, display correctly. Additional info:
This should be fixed in FC6, and is definitely fixed in the F7 development trees.
