Re: [Question #235416]: Epoptes is running commands with wrong locale

 

Question #235416 on Epoptes changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/epoptes/+question/235416

Laércio de Sousa gave more information on the question:
Another information: in openSUSE there's a file named
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh, with the content below. It references another
openSUSE-specific config file named /etc/sysconfig/language, whose
relevant part is the setting RC_LANG="my locale", which is used by other
programs to set LANG.

#
# lang.sh:	Set interactive language environment
#
# Used configuration files:
#
#     /etc/sysconfig/language
#     $HOME/.i18n
#

#
# Already done by the remote SSH side
#
test -z "$SSH_SENDS_LOCALE" || return

#
# Already done by the GDM
#
test -z "$GDM_LANG" || return

#
# Get the system and after that the users configuration
#
if test -s /etc/sysconfig/language ; then
    while read line ; do
	case "$line" in
	\#*|"")
	    continue
	    ;;
	RC_*)
	    eval ${line#RC_}
	    ;;
	ROOT_USES_LANG*)
	    eval $line
	    test "$UID" != 0 && ROOT_USES_LANG=yes
	    ;;

    done < /etc/sysconfig/language

# Special LC_ALL handling because the LC_ALL
# overwrites all LC but not the LANG variable
#
