<br>
I use Ubuntu Jaunty release 9.04. <br>
On my last attempt to update openoffice to 3.1 (from repository:
<a href="http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu" target="_blank">http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu</a>)
I noticed that
openoffice can't do Hebrew file names anymore. I also got some warnings
from other tools such as digikam regarding locale settings.<br>
Digging into this problem I noticed that my LANG env is set to "C":<br>
$ echo $LANG<br>
C<br>
<br>
When I set it to: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 , both openoffice and digikam were
fine.<br>
I also noticed that when I login on text mode (such as ssh localhost) I
get the LANG settings as expected: en_US.UTF-8<br>
<br>
Also I just tried to update my system </font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Arial"> and I tried to remove all my dot files </font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Arial">and I tried to switch from xfce4 to Gnome

I don't know about Ubuntu, but in Debian these variables are set either
in /etc/default/locale or /etc/environment. Also, the "official" way of
changing those is by doing "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root.<br>
<br>
Hope this helped.<br>
