But restarting the System/Language modules lets it run in the previously chosen 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.

What if you open xterm, check if the locale was changed and run /sbin/yast2 from xterm? BTW, you didn't attached required files. -- 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.

The (user's) desktop environment should have no influence here at all IHMO, the yast control center and the other modules simply should read the language setting the same way the System/Language module does. -- 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.

Why do you think this should be the same? The standard and correct way is to get the info from locale, System/Language IMHO reads the file directly to work even in special cases like installation, or maybe there's some other historic reason for this. The need to relogin so the locale is in correct state is common IMHO - KDE says so as well. It think there is nothing to change on YaST side. -- 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.

Why do you think this should be the same?
A language change should be reflected immediately/as soon as possible. Different YaST modules shouldn't communicate with the user in different languages. The YaST modules should use the system/administrator's language, not the language of a random desktop user being logged in. -- 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.

I believe the system locale was set correctly after first yast call (you can check it on your own). So the problem is that the second call of yast doesn't know correct system locale - but someone else must care about this, not yast. For me it looks like a duplicate (or another part) of bug 222728. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 222728 *** -- 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.

Please read again: YaST starts with the locale that is read from environment.

It contradicts usability issues like user expectations and task adequacy. Jiri, if you can't fix the problem, than please tell us anyone else who we can address in this issue.

The user has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" while the system language was switched to German as test. And their are not more log files generated by language switching, and there are no others as I deleted the YaST2 log file before trying. May I suggest you try it yourself first once before bombarding me with with NEEDINFOs? -- 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.

The system locale was changed correctly (check by 'su - -e locale') - this is what I checked on my system and I asked for your info so you could see it works correctly also on yours. But when you run YaST using the KDE or GNOME menu, it launches it with kdesu/gnomesu. These commands are using sudo and actually do not call the process with the root's language environment variables. This is probably just the opposite case of the one solved in bug #222728. But anyway - nothing for YaST to solve. Reassigning to sudo maintainer. -- 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.
