Live Gnome 32bits DVD, Live mode: When in a Gnome terminal, the output of "locale" is "en_US" for every item When on tty3, the output of the same "locale" is "nl_NL" for every item The language of the desktop is English, despite Dutch having been chosen. Gnome in a multi-desktop install from the traditional 64bits DVD doesn't have this problem (but only the problem with the keyboard, see bug 14476 ) I couldn't check Gnome after install from the mentioned LiveDVD, because it wouldn't boot into a working Gnome desktop

(In reply to Dick Gevers from comment #1) > Confirmed @ tmb Assigning to you because, AFAIK, this only occurs with the LiveDVD, which gives me the impression only the Live itself needs some magic. cc'ing ovitters, in case it can only be solved in Gnome itself (Already setting to "release blocker" for after beta1 release... for beta1, we'll add this to the errata)

Created attachment 5582 [details] journalctl -b output of failed boot into Gnome after install from Live32GnomeDVD (In reply to claire robinson from comment #3) > Possibly relevant, Marja reported on qa-discuss.. > Ah, didn't think that could be related, but what do I know ;-) That was from an install of the same Live (installed from the Live boot menu), after which booting into Gnome failed right after giving a root password and a user name + user password. Brian reported it stopped at the same spot for him, but that rebooting solved the problem (I didn't have enough patience with Gnome to try that or anything else). I'll attach the journalctl -b output I got on a text tty from my failed Gnome boot.
Comment 3 and 4 are a different issue: that is bug 13687

I think I fixed this one today. The restarting of the dm to pick up new locale settings was disabled around MGA4 but I found it's still needed today. I've restored it on my test systems and this seemed to work OK. Will need retesting after things are all released/rebuilt.

I confirm it fixed in 5beta3 round 4, tested on Gnome LiveDVD x86_64 with French locale.

(In reply to Alberto Girlando from comment #10) > Tested RC, live gnome 64 bit on intel graphic. Used english and italian. > Error oh no ! still appears. I don't think this is the same issue, as the GNOME-specific locale issue have indeed been fixed in February. Please open a new bug report for your issue, it might have a different cause (also you could test a full English install to confirm whether the problem is locale-related).
If I boot normally with full Italian (my language and keyboard), English and French options, and always the dreadful Oh no ! appeared. I then loaded with failsafe option to have the terminal only, adjusted video with drakX11, and started X. When I use the full French option, including the keyboard, the gnome shell appears. If I use the Italian keyboard, Oh no appears. All other combination (English, Italian etc) failed. I am at this point now. Unfortunately at the moment I can use only a computer for testing, and only the live version. I tried 64 bit live with gnome DVD.
Could you please open a new bug report with these details? As you can read this bug report was about Gnome starting properly, but not respecting the chosen locale and defaulting to en_US. This has been fixed, so debugging your issue here will be confusing.
