I have a problem with the locale in my client session. I have set the locale on my remote client and on the server to "de_DE.UTF-8". This also works well in OpenNX sessions but with X2goclient I see within the client session nothing translated into German due to the locale not applied well. Within the remote client session in any terminal I get this:
[andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
Any idea?
More people seem affected in Arch by this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151160
Note: the x2go-qt client itself is properly working and translated on the client.

Do you have the code from x2goserver.git/x2goserver-xsession in place?
It may well be that server-side evironment variable defaults will not
be set with the x2goserver-xsession code in place.

Taking this post into consideration, I would rather say... Get the
issue fixed with SSH and then it works with X2Go.

Ack.

I've attached our x2goserver package file list. Files get installed with make install. Maybe there's still something missing.

When I log into the server using a terminal and casual ssh session I have proper locale applied.

This is what can be found in my journald with X2go debug logging enabled:
Feb 03 13:16:48 workstation64 /usr/bin/x2gocmdexitmessage[29768]: command output starts with: exec startxfce4 Feb 03 13:16:48 workstation64 polkitd[12266]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-session:116 (system bus name :1.228 [/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1],object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8)
Any idea why X2go doesn't use client or host locale but unwanted reads that Polkit stuff?
-Andy
Is Arch the only distro affected by issue? What could be the culprit? How can we debug this?
People start to workaround it by using a custom startup script like this:
#!/bin/bash export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 exec gnome-session
No idea? Should we file a bug?
