Thanks for reporting this as a bug, but it is not a bug nor has it anything to do with the setup of the locales. It is the new 12.3 bootsplash that cycles through 5 languages (English, German, French, Italian and Russian). Plymouth itself is completely unaware of what type of language the user has set and as you have noticed the request to enter your password for the your encrypted home is in English. Closing this bug as invalid. (In reply to comment #1) > It is the new 12.3 bootsplash that cycles through 5 languages Are you telling me that the language selection in plymouth is basically based on /dev/random? If yes, this is confusing IMHO ("why does my system boot in russian today?!?"). I'd suggest to stick with english - or change plymouth so that it uses the language the user has selected. No, what I am telling you is that the theme is designed in such a way that it displays a number of images in a certain sequence. These 5 images contains Booting System in 5 languages. It has absolutely nothing to do with the language in which the system boots. It is just a graphical theme. Plymouth doesn't do anything else then just to display images on a bootsplash. No, This theme is not going to be changed unless it is done by the artwork team. If you don't like it, I would suggest to imagination to work and create a new plymouth bootsplash and submit that one to the artwork team. Again this is NOT A BUG !!!. It would be impossible to create a bootsplash theme that everybody likes, so this is the current 12.3 bootsplash theme. |
(using up-to-date Factory version) It looks like someone built a language course into plymouth ;-) At the beginning of the boot process, it shows Loading system... Later it switches to german: Computer startet... and when I'm asked to enter the passphrase for my encrypted /home, it switches to french(?): Chargement du système... I have set the system language to german, so I'd expect to see "Computer startet..." all the time. The english text at the beginning might be caused by the initrd not knowing the language settings, but I have no idea why it switches to french later... /etc/sysconfig/language contains (comments removed): INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="de_DE@euro" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="de_DE"
