Locales missing

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hi,I'm having a problem with my Arch installation. Last time I tried to boot it it got stuck on the console login (X wouldn't start). After a lot of debugging it appeared something was wrong with the kernel. I reinstalled it and the laptop booted fine. But now it also seems something is wrong with the locales. For example I have some special characters in my PS1, and these fail now (in KDEs Konsole). Trying to list all the locales using locale -a (both as normal user and as root) it yields these errors:locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directorylocale: Ca (HowTos)

Usually, I run aptitude -y install locales then dpkg-reconfigure locales to set up locale.

Now I want to put it into a shell script, how can I reliably do the following, automatically / non-interactively?

Choose en_US.UTF-8 and set it as system default Disable all other locales (Optional) Verify if /etc/default/locale contains one-and-only entry of LANG=en_US.UTF-8 as expected

okay so I rebooted without saving the before.

Hi there,

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a new machine. By mistake, I select Spanish as language during the install, so my whole system is in Spanish now.

[Q] Locales? 28 weeks 4 days ago

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to answer this, but who knows. I'm moving from Japan to the UK next week and I have to buy new phones for myself any my wife. The Nexus 4 looks like a really good option, but my wife needs the UI to be in the Japanese locale. I know I can set a custom locale so that her apps are Japanese, but she wants the settings on the phone, etc, in Japanese.

There is no way to get a simple accented c (ć) with se_ES.UTF-8 locale or am I missing something? Any way I used previously to type it in other locales is getting me the same ç. Compose key with acute and apostrophe give me ç as well. Any tip is welcome ;)

Locales UTF8 - not working 47 weeks 4 days ago

Hello,

I'm facing a strange problem in one of my Debian server, what is happening right now it that I have runned dpkg-reconfigure locales to set en_US UTF-8 so in that way I could use accentuation in my system.

Code: # locale -a C en_US.utf8 POSIX pt_BR.utf8 However, when I create a new file via console like vi test and I try to use "ç" or "é" for example the c
