Summary: Cannot change system language back to English after changing it to Korean.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510412

Summary: Cannot change system language back to English after changing it to Korean. Product: Fedora Version: 11 Platform: x86_64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: low Component: system-config-language AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: cal.mcpherson99@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: psatpute@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora

Description of problem: Cannot reset system language back to original selection.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with an English(US) language install of Gnome Fedora 11 2. Change system language through GUI to Korean. 3. Reboot. 4. Log in, the system language is korean. 5. Change system language through GUI to English(US) 6. Reboot. 7. Log in, the system language is korean.

Actual results: Cannot change back to English language, either via GNOME desktop GUI or system-config-language from terminal, ie desktop is unusable, I don't speak Korean!.

Expected results: Can change back to English language.

Additional info: the dialog when changing the lanugage indicates log out/in is sufficient for initial language change. Wrong. Reboot was required. Not important though.

--- Comment #1 from Pravin Satpute psatpute@redhat.com 2009-07-09 03:54:00 EDT --- hmm, i will change it to reboot instead of logout

i think your gdm setting is overriding system-config-languages setting, just check what is selected in GDM lang menu before login

--- Comment #2 from cal.mcpherson cal.mcpherson99@gmail.com 2009-07-10 03:48:50 EDT --- I fixed this by editing /home/<myusername>/.dmrc and changing Language=en_USE.UTF-8. Interestingly, I have 2 users in the system and the other user is now English too. I thought .dmrc is a per-user locale setting?

Anyway, the point is changing the system language setting modified .dmrc from English to Korean the 1st time. The next time I ran it, it did not modify the .dmrc settings back to English.

In other words, the Language Selection dialog has a bug in it. Not sure if this is a Gnome project dialog or a Fedora one.

Anyway, I'm happy now I have my default language choice back.

Thanks. Cal

yeah, .dmrc is for local user only selected language in GDM Menu gets written into that file while login

...

Anyway, the point is changing the system language setting modified .dmrc from English to Korean the 1st time. The next time I ran it, it did not modify the .dmrc settings back to English.

In other words, the Language Selection dialog has a bug in it. Not sure if this is a Gnome project dialog or a Fedora one.

system-config-langauge is used for changing system wide language configuration, It not deals with local user .dmrc but /etc/sysconfig/i18n file

...

Anyway, I'm happy now I have my default language choice back.

Congrats!!

It should be possible to change language from system->administration->language without manually editing .dmrc file. For users who do not know what .dmrc file is it is impossible to change language back to english now.

Not working here, I had set the language to spanish for testing and even if I select english in the gdm menu it starts up always in spanish.

The English option in the menu is in italics, could be a hint?

in my opinion actually /home/username/.dmrc should modify cache

Yes, it's known and under the discussion in upstream bug. Currently you need to modify the file in the cache dir. It was implemented for dynamic home dir of anonymous users AFAIK.

Editing tr_TR.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 (in /home/<myusername>/.dmrc), and reboot fixes the issue.
