(The following is based on my experience. I hope I'm not entirely wrong in my understanding of how this works. :-) If you log in on a regular terminal (i.e. not in X at all) then /etc/environmentis used. Mine looks like this: LANGUAGE="en_GB:en_GB:en" LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 The dpkg-reconfigure you did should have affected that file. However, I'm not sure whether it'll take effect without a reboot. If you log in using a display manager (GDM, KDM, ...) then it might set the locale itself (I know GDM does). AFAIK you have to log out, change the locale, then log in again in order to change it. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
