defining default locale (LANG/LC_ALL)

defining default locale (LANG/LC_ALL)

[Steffen Sledz]

May be this is a FAQ, but I could not find any helpful documentation.

What is the best way to define a system wide default locale setting (LANG and LC_ALL) for OE based Angstrom style images?

Regards,
Steffen

Don't know about Angstrom style images, but you can always try adding
appropriate entries to /etc/environment.

Interesting hint.

But this file is related to the pam tooling. So it has only effect on logins and not on system services. Correct?

systemd provides system wide locale settings through /etc/locale.conf, all
services will inherit these (note that LC_ALL is not supported). I expect
these should just work in OE.

I'm not aware of anything quite like that for non-systemd though.

Note that LC_ALL should not be used for setting the system-wide default: 
it takes precedence over any other variable. LANG is the way to go.
