Running Fedora 20. Trying to permanently set the LANG and LC_TIME variable with "export". When I run it, it works fine and I can see it was changed. When I reboot, it gets changed back. I am doing all this though the bash shell. I have looked in .bash_profile and .bashrc in my home folder and not seeing anything where its getting this wrong value from. I also checked in /etc - the files profile and bashrc, and in /etc/profile.d/. But I cant seem to figure out where its getting that value from.
1) Where is Fedora getting the LANG and LC_TIME env variable from and how does it know which one to pick?
2) How do I change it permanently for a single user?
3) How can I change it globally(for all users) and make it stick?
4) Why does "export" not make it persistent?
I need to be able to do all of this through the shell. Thanks!
/etc/locale.conf
. That should be systemwide. – Tom Hunt Sep 2 '15 at 16:23
