"ƔETRƆ ga" unknown text displayed next to taskbar clock. #388

Closed ahtotaat closed 7 years ago

Got "ƔETRƆ ga 11:30" displayed on the taskbar clock (Lumina). I used the google extensively and finally found out it does mean "afternoon" in some Nigeri-Congo dialect (Ewe).

Also, clicking on the clock, would open up calendar with incomprehensible abbreviations designating days of week.

Lumina's "Preferences" is showing "Afrikaans (af)" for some reason.

I tried to change Lumina's localization settings under "Desktop settings" to "eesti" but it did not solve the issue (I restarted the system). Language/Messages/Time settings were properly saved as "eesti" (but had no visible effect as "ƔETRƆ ga" did not disappear) on the but rest of the settings (Numeric/Monetary/Collate/Ctype) reverted back to "System defaults" after restart.

I initially selected "Eesti keel" in the TrueOS installer (Estonian language).

EDIT: dug around some more, noticed PCDM showing "ee_GH" keyboard layout as selected in the botton left corner. After I changed it for "et_EE" and tried logging into Lumina, I noticed problem gone and also proper abbreviations being displayed in the calendar.

It appears this issue is resolved, so I'm going to close. Thanks for the report!

It is 'resolved' only when user consciously notices wrong locale in PCDM and elects to change it manually. If he/she doesn't, it would still be there, confusing the fu** out of him/her -> because by default, PCDM still is offering completely wrong locale after installation (checked it with last TrueOS UNSTABLE)
