Hi,
I am running a ptxdist 2016.01.0 ARM-based system with 4.4 kernel,
glibc, systemd and the following ptxdist locale settings:
PTXCONF_LOCALES=y
PTXCONF_LOCALES_EN_US_UTF8=y
PTXCONF_SYSTEMD_LOCALES=y
locale -a shows:
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
But localectl from systemd does not show anything:
System Locale: n/a
Also, even if I add a LANG=en_US.utf8 or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 manually to
/etc/locale.conf, POSIX remains the default locale.
I want to replace the POSIX default with en_US.utf8 systemwide, what are
the necessary steps on a ptxdist system?
Thanks.
Clemens

With a corresponding /etc/locale.conf I see
System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8

What does "localectl list-locales" tell you?

Hm, now localectl does show the following:
System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8
But, the "locale" program still shows:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

It shows: en_US.utf8
So ptxdist did generate the locale files correctly, but the
/etc/locale.conf entry does not seem to have any effect on the output of
"locale". Is this expected and what can I do about it?
Shouldn't systemd-localed also set the environment variables?
Michael, does your machine show LANG=en_US.utf8 in the output of the
"locale" command?
Thanks for your help.
Clemens

If I try to connect to the machine with mosh, I get:
"The locale requested by LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 isn't available here.
Running `locale-gen en_US.utf8' may be necessary.
mosh-server needs a UTF-8 native locale to run."

"systemctl show-environment" contains the correct 'LANG'. However, LANG is
not set in the shell. Maybe we should add something like this to
/etc/profile.d/systemdd.sh:
if [ -s /etc/locale.conf ]; then
. /etc/locale.conf
export LANG
fi
