Operating Systems Solaris /etc/default/init LANG Setting Not Working
# 8  
Old 11-16-2015
Okay, so that pointed me in the right direction. My terminal is sending the en_US.UTF-8 LANG setting.

What was curious the same configuration didn't produce the same results on the old server. What I found was that the old server didn't have the en_US.UTF-8 locale installed. So the terminal was attempting to set it but it wasn't accepted on the other side and dropped to the C locale by default.

Code:
bash-3.2# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_CA
en_CA.ISO8859-1
en_CA.UTF-8
en_US
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-15@euro
es
es_MX
es_MX.ISO8859-1
es_MX.UTF-8
fr
fr_CA
fr_CA.ISO8859-1
fr_CA.UTF-8
iso_8859_1

The new server has the locale after installing the North America (nam) region from disk. Doesn't look like I can remove en_US.UTF-8 without removing the entire nam region according to localeadm. Had the same trouble when attempting to just install en_US. I had to install all of nam.

Guess I just need to override it in the profiles for the application. Thanks for your help guys.

kbdmap

KBDMAP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 KBDMAP(1)

NAME

     kbdmap, vidfont -- front end for syscons and vt

SYNOPSIS

     kbdmap [-K] [-V] [-d | -default] [-h | -help] [-l | -lang language] [-p | -print] [-r | -restore] [-s | -show] [-v | -verbose]

DESCRIPTION

     The kbdmap utility allows easy setting of available keymaps.  The vidfont command allows the setting of fonts.  Both examine a database for
     the keymaps and fonts.  Descriptions are in English by default, but may also be in other languages.  These programs are interactive and
     expect to run in a terminal to get required input (e.g., a keymap selection) from the user.

     It is strongly recommended to not choose MSDOS codepage keymaps or fonts.	Use the ISO standard version if available!  X11 does not support
     MSDOS codepage.

     The following options are available:

     -K      Run as command kbdmap.

     -V      Run as command vidfont.

     -d, -default
	     Use default language.  Ignore LANG environment variable.

     -h, -help
	     Print options and exit.

     -l, -lang language
	     Use language for description and menu.

     -p, -print
	     Print description of available keymaps or fonts to stdout and exit.

     -r, -restore
	     Load default font from /etc/rc.conf.

     -s, -show
	     Show currently supported languages and exit.

     -v, -verbose
	     More warnings.

ENVIRONMENT

     LANG  preferred language

FILES

     /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/INDEX.keymaps
     /usr/share/vt/keymaps/INDEX.keymaps       database for keymaps
     /usr/share/syscons/fonts/INDEX.fonts
     /usr/share/vt/fonts/INDEX.fonts	       database for fonts
     /etc/rc.conf			       default font
     /usr/local/share/locale/locale.alias      describe common LANG values

SEE ALSO

     dialog(1), kbdcontrol(1), vidcontrol(1), syscons(4), vt(4), kbdmap(5), rc.conf(5)

HISTORY

     The kbdmap and vidfont commands appeared in FreeBSD 2.1.

AUTHORS

     Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org> wrote the original Perl version.  The current version was rewritten in C by Jonathan Belson
     <jon@witchspace.com> for FreeBSD 5.0.

BUGS

     The kbdmap and vidfont utilities work only on a (virtual) console and not with X11.
