I am now using Debian/Sid with display manager lightdm and desktop
manager xfce4.
I used to edit /etc/environment and add export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8.
Now It doesn't work.
When I have logged into XFCE4, the output of locale -a is
LC_CTYE=en_US.UTF-8
Later, I edited /etc/default/locale, adding one line: export
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8. However, the locale is still LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8.
I also did that in /etc/profile, and failed either.
I am now curious about the way the system source *.sh in the boot up
session.
My question is :What's the proper way of setting LC_CTYPE?
(Plus, if I add export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 in /etc/default/locale, it
will work, but this is not what I want. Further more, I think the file
/etc/default/locale shouldn't be edited, as it is generated by the
software and maybe overwritten.)
Thanks.
