Having trouble on properly setting the locale

moisespedro · 01-24-2014, 09:50 PM

Hi, I just reinstalled my slackware and I did the exact same thing I did before (edited lang.sh and lang.csh) and rc.local (to set unicode)

Here is how each one of them look like:

Code:

lang.sh
export LANG=pt_BR
export LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8

Code:

lang.csh
setenv LANG pt_BR
setenv LANG pt_BR.UTF-8

Code:

rc.local
unicode_start

However it is not working as it was before, on tty it is but not on X.
Example:

On tty and on my previous system it was working fine and display "comando não encontrado" (the correct way).

Any thoughts?

EDIT: My bad, guys. It was just on rxvt. I only realised it when I've tried xfce terminal. It is working fine

Damn I am such a noob

Preferably just write

Code:

lang.sh
export LANG=pt_BR.utf8

Code:

lang.csh
setenv LANG pt_BR.utf8

Rationale:

this is how it is expected to be written
in what you wrote only the second line export is considered anyway as it replaces the previous one
