Hello everyone,

I'm going nuts with the locale settings under systemd. I need to set my native language to es_AR.utf8, the console keyboard layout to la-latin1 and the xkeyboard layout to latam; in order to do so, I have done the following:

Code:
# localectl set-locale es_AR.utf8
# localectl set-keymap la-latim1
# localectl set-x11-keymap latam
# localectl status
   System Locale: LANG=es_AR.utf8
       VC Keymap: la-latin1
      X11 Layout: latam


Everything looks good up to here, but when I start Gnome 3 and go to gnome-control-center -> Region & languague, I see the default language and formats set to English United States...
So, where is Gnome taking this configs from? why is it not setting the locales I have previously declared?
Also, I see there are 2 different keymaps, the latam and us...

I'm wondering if it is coming from the locale-gen steps in the handbook, which you could re-do:

I figured out. There was a spelling mistake in the LANG variable. I was missing the "-". The correct one is:

Quote:
es_AR.UTF-8


Ok, this solved the language and format problem. But I still see the us keymap there.
Is this meant to be a fallback keymap in case the other ones fail?
