Description Sebastian Henrich 2007-10-15 22:13:43 UTC

I installed my system using German as default language. If I run YaST on the console outside KDE the language is english, if I run YaST inside KDE (konsole) the language is german as I expect it.

Comment 6 Sebastian Henrich 2007-10-16 20:28:16 UTC

I installed openSUSE 10.3 again. This time as VMware guest. If somebody needs a copy of this guest contact me. A documentation of the installation steps is also availible.

Comment 7 Sebastian Henrich 2007-10-16 20:55:23 UTC

I did some more tests. The error is caused by roots profile. If I change to root using "su" from my normal user account, YaST is in german. If I run "su -" YaST is in english. I think this is caused by the setting "LANG="POSIX"" inside roots profile. If I do an "export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"" before running YaST2, YaST2 is in german.

Comment 8 Jiří Suchomel 2007-10-17 19:42:47 UTC

So, this is no bug of YaST, this is the default setting of root's locale. 
Note that you can modify it by changing the value of ROOT_USES_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/language

Comment 9 Sebastian Henrich 2007-10-17 20:32:36 UTC

Ok, if I change ROOT_USES_LANG from ctype to yes, YaST is in german. What I don't understand is the difference between openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3. In version 10.2 ROOT_USES_LANG is set to ctype but YaST is in german. If this is wanted it would be nice to put an hint into the release notes.
