Title: Strange localization effects
Post by: jaegermeister on 2017/01/29, 22:44:27

Hello,

after installing patience 2016.1 KDE5 on my Z800 (great success) and fine-tuning lotsa stuff, there is still something which I cannot explain to myself.

My machine has been configured from install for Italian localisation; in KDE I have also added, just as KEYBOARDS, German and Russian. Now there is some CLI software (up to now apt and lftp) which shows a strange phenomenon: instead of showing output just in Italian, or, if not available, in English, in some outputs also German and Russian get in, sometimes even on the same line! Here follows an extreme example from lftp.

Code: [Select]

[ftp] root@10.1.0.181:/vmfs/volumes/DD01> put SERVIZIO.ova
4145543168 Bytes übertragen in 217 Sekunden (18.23 Миб/с)

My env output shows:

Code: [Select]

LANG=it_IT.UTF-8

Actually, I have no clue why this funny thing happens.
It's not causing me difficoulties, as I speak both languages, but... looks like a bug to be addressed.

THX

Well, the output is the following:

Code: [Select]

   System Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: it
       X11 Model: pc102
     X11 Options: lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin

Try this

Code: [Select]


localectl set-keymap it

or

Code: [Select]

localectl set-x11-keymap it pc102 lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin

I just tried both settings without any result.

Testbed was uploading a file with lftp.
During transfer it mixed Italian with German, at the end  of transfer it was German with speed unit measure in Russian.

Pretty much phun, ain't it?
