Re: LANGUAGE=en_PT ?!? There is no such thing!



Hi,

I had exactly the same problem!  But as I do a log of changes and fine
tuning myself, I thought it was something I've done...

You may change it to one of the right values in
	/etc/environment

Look at the package "locales" for more information on this and other
related variables.  You may also look at
