I've hd-installed 0.6.3 using my language settings (lang=es) But when I apt-get install some soft it cries about 'locale', some soft works but other do not If I install it without using lang= cheapcode all works ok... Posted by Grim on April 20 2004,16:31
If you have Debian testing set up in your sources.list, I'm pretty sure you can just `apt-get install locales'. I could be wrong.

Not,sir,sorry for my horrible English, I have an locale error when I try to install using apt-get and I'm using lang=es The error is the same if I use knoppix sources.list or dsl.sources.list (When I return home I'll cut&paste the text so you can see it) Posted by guille on April 20 2004,20:39
Here it is:I've just booted with linux lang=es and then apt-get install iptables it's works install and then: perl warning: Setting locale failed. Language = es LC_ALL = (unset) LANG= "es_ESEuro" are supported and installed on your system perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C") ................ 2 times more If I'd installed without lang=es I'd not had those messages Posted by Grim on April 20 2004,20:51
There is a Debian package called `locales'. Have you installed this package called `locales'? I believe your locale-related problems will disappear once you install the package named `locales'. In order to install the package named `locales' sudo su to root and type:

Did you do the "Enhanced" hdinstall with DSL0.6.3? Posted by christosvas on April 28 2004,09:16
Yes. I just did it.Says Glibc is broken. Posted by Grim on April 29 2004,12:02
I believe I was mistaken when I said that all you had to do is install the locales package. This should fix the problem if you're running the full XFree86 Xserver, the KDrive servers are, however, another issue.According to the KDrive website, the tiny servers don't support locales very well. The author has to set up his Spanish keyboard with xmodmap every time he restarts the Xserver. I was following a similar topic in another thread and apparently the fix is somewhat easier with DSL. Append `lang=es' to your boot string and it should fix the problem. If that doesn't work, maybe I can start on a script that sets the keyboard using xmodmap.

The funny thing is that I want to be able to write in greek as well. When I access a greek Webpage using firefox, greek letters are shown OK! But I can't change the keyboard in greek. When i try the solution on a post about kdrive with the command 'setxkbmap' it says something cannot be done.Please write the script you said for setting xmodmap !!! |
