#614 closed defect (fixed)

fail gracefully if LANG isn't set

Reported by: sascha_silbe Owned by: sascha_silbe
Priority: Low Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: Git as of bugdate
Severity: Minor Keywords: r+
Cc: tomeu Distribution/OS: Unspecified
Bug Status: Assigned

Description

Normally, LANG will be set by the login scripts. But if it isn't set, several parts of Sugar currently fail (tracebacks).
Since Sugar provides its own language chooser anyway, it makes sense to handle this more gracefully and set up locale variables (including LANG) accordingly early on startup. Another option would be to fix all occurences of direct uses of LANG inside Glucose to use the Control Panel settings instead.
