Description Espen Stefansen 2011-05-11 16:17:09 UTC
Description of problem:
In control-center -> 'Region and Language' I changed my language into norwegian. After reboot, Gnome is still in English. Control-center says language is Norwegian Bokmål though.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.0.1-4.fc15.x86_64
gnome-session-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64
control-center-3.0.1.1-6.fc15.x86_64

This still applies to Gnome 3.2 on Fedora 16.

Comment 2 Espen Stefansen 2012-03-24 08:08:35 UTC
This problem is still valid with latest gnome updates. I still can't change language in Gnome.

gnome-shell-3.2.2.1-1.fc16.x86_64
gnome-session-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64
control-center-3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64

I'm seeing the same in rawhide (fc18) now. I also see that for some reason LANG is being set to the old no_NO locale instead of nb_NO which could be the reason it doesn't work.

LANG and LC_* should all be set to nb_NO.UTF-8 for things to work. Not sure which parts of the system are responsible for setting these during install or later though.

Hmm, works fine here. I selected bokmal, logged out, and then couldn't read anything anymore. It all looked Norwegian to me.

Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2012-10-03 07:38:42 UTC
Not sure where to look for any problems here then. Could it be stored in my user profile somehow? gnome-control-center uses glibc to get the locale data, right? Could there be a problem with glibc maybe?

glibc-2.16-17.fc18.x86_64
control-center-3.6.0-1.fc18.x86_64
gnome-settings-daemon-3.6.0-2.fc18.x86_64
gnome-settings-daemon-3.6.0-3.fc18.x86_64
gdm-3.6.0-1.fc18.x86_64

It started working here after a relabelling for selinux.

Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-21 21:04:42 UTC
so I guess we should consider this fixed, then ?
