Language list empty

I remember that I also had this problem. I enabled hald, dbus, and mounted proc. The language list showed after that, but I'm not sure if this is the reason why it got fixed. It might be worth a try though.
 
Did you upgrade from an older version of GDM?

Have a look in /usr/local/etc/gdm/. If there's an gdm.conf there, remove it.
 
No it was a fresh install. Shall I delete gdm.conf even though it's not an upgrade?

Unfortunately I'm in XP right now so I can't check.

I'm in FreeBsd now and can tell that I don't have gdm.conf in that directory.

But I have /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/gdm.conf

I've had some issues too with GDM. IIRC I had to copy the custom.conf.default to custom.conf in /usr/local/etc/gdm before it would work properly.

I think you can leave the gdm.conf in the dbus directory alone. According to the remarks in custom.conf there used to be a gdm.conf in /usr/local/etc/gdm, if found it would take precedence over the new custom.conf.
 
Hello again,

I did the following:
added gdm_lang="sv_SE.ISO8859-1" to /etc/rc.conf

Still English.

Removed it and added
export LANG=sv_SE.ISO8859-1 and
export LC_ALL=sv_SE.ISO8859-1 to ~/.profile


Still English.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Fred
 
I have the following in ~/.profile

Code: 
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8;	 export LANG
LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8;	 export LC_ALL

env gives this:
Code: 
LANG=C
LC_ALL=C

My settings is neglected.

What does
Code: 
export LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8
give you if tou type it on your command line? If it throws an error, you're not using (ba)sh, so .profile will have no effect.
 
I can execute these commands with no errors and when I run env, it says:
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8

But after a reboot it's changed back to:
LANG=C
LC_ALL=C

Fred
 
Hello again,
Fianlly solved.

I found that exporting LANG and LC_ALL has no effect unless I don't also export GDM_LANG. So this ~/.profile works

Code: 
LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8;	 export LANG
LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8;	 export LC_ALL
GDM_LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8;	 export GDM_LANG
