Cannot set LC_* variables

[fred974]

Hi,

When I set the lines bellow in my /home/username/.login_config

me:\
  :charset=UTF-8:\
  :lang=en_GB.UTF-8:\
  #:setenv=LC_COLLATE=C:
  :setenv=LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8:\

I can get the expected output % locale

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

When I set the exact setting insite my sysutils/iocage jails, the ouput of % locale is all wrong..

LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Could anyone help me understand the issue.

Thank you

Locale settings are not carried over from the environment to jails when they are started, you have to set them again in the jail's /etc/login.conf if you wish to modify them.

kpa , the /etc/login.conf that I edited is from the jail

/iocage/jails/<bignumber>/root/home/webadmin/.login_conf
