I am running a Fedora 19 Live system and I am trying to use locale.LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 to set the Live system to the German language. [liveuser@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) [liveuser@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/cmdline ... locale.LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 ... [liveuser@localhost ~]$ env | grep LANG LANG=en_US.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 --> Seems wrong - I would have expected de_DE.UTF-8
what does "systemctl show-environment" print? Note that gdm will override this system-wide setting with a per-user setting.
What good is a locale.LANG option that does not actually set the language of the desktop? Is there any way to prevent gdm from overriding this on a Live CD?
Well, the system language is just the default, and users can adjust this setting to whatever suits them, overriding the default. This is really how this should work I am sure.
