Help-how to set the default locale

My current system default locale setting is:

#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=

I generate zh_CN.UTF-8 sucessfully using "locale-gen"

#locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.utf8
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb18030
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8

I use "export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8" to set system locales. But after reboot, it back to "POSIX" again.

Now I wonder how to set my system default locale to “zh_CN.UTF-8” permanently？:confused:

What files should I change? or use what command?

Thanks a lot!!!!

check the init scripts.
Maybe something sets it to postix at boot.
A good temp solution. Make a bootscript that does:

Code:

---

export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8

---

Hope that helps.
