Hi,
On a fresh CentOS 7 installation using Fran?ais/France as regional parameters
in the installer, here's what localectl looks like:
[microlinux at linuxbox ~]$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
VC Keymap: ch-fr
X11 Layout: ch
X11 Variant: fr
Now I'd like to have my system messages in english. So I set the system
language accordingly:
$ sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8
Things seem to look OK now:
[microlinux at linuxbox ~]$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8
VC Keymap: ch-fr
X11 Layout: ch
X11 Variant: fr
Except when I display my LANG variable, it's still fr_FR.UTF-8 for normal
users... but en_US.utf8 for root.
This looks like inconsistent or buggy behavior to me.
Any suggestions on how to change the default system locale LANG so that it's
en_US.utf8 for everybody *without* having to jump through burning loops and
putting it in everybody's ~/.bashrc ?
Cheers,
Niki

When I'm connected directly (physically) to the server, LANG is set correctly: en_US.utf8 for both root and non-root users. 2. When I'm opening a remote SSH session, LANG is set to fr_FR.UTF_8 for both root and non-root users. What's going on here ? -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Site : https://www.microlinux.fr Blog : https://blog.microlinux.fr Mail : info at microlinux.fr T?l. : 04 66 63 10 32 Mob. : 06 51 80 12 12
