gdm complains about missing locale

[Wojtek Kaniewski]

Binary package hint: gdm

I have polish locale set (pl_PL.UTF-8). Since the upgrade of gdm from 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 to 2.20.2-1ubuntu, on every system start-up it shows a message in polish that polish language is missing. Very convincing. After clicking OK, the desktop starts as usual and I see no problems with my locale. I have automatic login enabled, but I tried also typing user name and password manually -- the behaviour is the same. When I remove LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables, the message doesn't show up.

$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="pl_PL:pl:en_GB:en"

$ cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="pl_PL:pl:en_GB:en"

Hardy Heron.

I see this also, but with sv_SE. I found bug 160984, figure this is the problem.

[Wojtek Kaniewski (wojtekka)]

But I do have the same settings in /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment, so I don't see how this could be relevant to 160984. Removing settings from /etc/environment switches back to default locale as described in that bug report.

Same problem here except with en_US. On a freshly upgraded Gutsy -> Hardy.

$cat /etc/default/locale
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

$cat /etc/environment
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
