Description Florian Hubold 2014-11-20 00:17:23 CET

Please extent localedrake to also run localectl set-locale LANG=$LANG to create /etc/locale.conf with that setting (or write it directly from localedrake).
/etc/locale.conf is read by systemd on early boot to set locale.

Also see man locale.conf

Is this bug still valid in latest cauldron?

I think this was fixed while fixing GNOME localisation issues.

Indeed

Well, are you sure? Maybe for the installer and for the pre-made images. I don't see an /etc/locale.conf on my system, not even after re-running localedrake. Only in initrd, but I think this is not sufficient.

And there's even https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Release_Notes#Localisation_.28l10n.29_.2F_Internationalisation_.28i18n.29 so no I don't think this is fixed completely.

Which of your tools is supposed to write/generate /etc/locale.conf, or asked the other way around, what puts etc/locale.conf into initrd ?

I don't know how you're testing but everytime localedrake is run _AS ROOT_, it writes /etc/locale.conf
Obviously it won't write it if run _AS USER_
