[Bug 216518] New: When using GNOME desktop with zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, scim starts without correct locale setting.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216518 Summary: When using GNOME desktop with zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, scim starts without correct locale setting. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: zsu@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: mfabian@novell.com When using GNOME desktop with zh_CN.UTF-8 locale, the interface of scim input method is English. Checking /proc/<pid of scim>/environ found that LANG was not set at all. It seems that /etc/profile was not loaded before launching input method. But there is no such issue when using KDE desktop. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It looks to me like /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession should be setting LANG, then sourcing /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common, which sources /etc/X11/xim, which will start scim. But in that case, scim should have the right value of LANG set. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216518 ------- Comment #4 from zsu@novell.com 2006-10-31 19:43 MST ------- I don't know, really. scim is launched in /etc/X11/xim, this file is sourced in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common. But /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common is sourced in multiple files: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession Then I don't know which file will be loaded by gdm, and when it will be loaded. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216518 ------- Comment #6 from mfabian@novell.com 2006-11-03 11:12 MST ------- /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession is executed by /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/Xsession which contains: #!/bin/sh exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession $1 $GDM_LANG In the login menu of gdm, one can select a language. If I explicitely select Japanese there, $GDM_LANG is set when /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/Xsession runs and the the problem goes disappears. If I do *not* explicitly select a language in the gdm menu, $GDM_LANG is empty when /etc/opt/gnome/gdm/Xsession runs, therefore Xsession is executed without a second parameter and the problem in this bug appears. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216518 ------- Comment #8 from mfabian@novell.com 2006-11-06 10:22 MST ------- But it might be intentional. See line 3563 in slave.c in the source code of gdm: /* Only force GDM_LANG to something if there is other then * system default selected. Else let the session do whatever it * does since we're using sys default */ if ( ! ve_string_empty (language)) { g_setenv ("LANG", language, TRUE); g_setenv ("GDM_LANG", language, TRUE); } Maybe Stanislav fixed this long ago but his fix got lost?: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Feb 20 15:52:52 CET 2003 - sbrabec@suse.cz - Use system language for GDM login from /etc/sysconfig/language. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It works for gdm because gdm calls Xsession with at least 1 argument. But xdm may call Xsession without any arguments at all. To make it work with both gdm and xdm, the patch needs to be changed a little bit, like this: rossini:/etc/X11/xdm # diff -u Xsession.orig Xsession --- Xsession.orig 2006-11-06 20:05:08.000000000 +0100 +++ Xsession 2006-11-09 18:52:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -169,6 +169,13 @@ fi # +# If LANG is still not set, get the system default locale settings: +# +if [ -z "$LANG" -a -f /etc/profile.d/lang.sh ] ; then + . /etc/profile.d/lang.sh +fi + +# # No window manager?
