Description

May it is a larch problem ... I found a site from larch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Rc.conf and the discribed thing does not work? Missing some files / directories in R7 with actual updates from testing repos?

History

Updated by jams over 12 years ago

Not many locales are included with the base system.
To generate them:

1) edit /etc/locale.gen, uncomment the locale you want to use.
2) run locale-gen
After this the changes you made rc.conf should work.

Thanks jams ... works for now ... generating and switching for the first test ...

using now de_DE.UTF-8 ... maybe we could close the thread, after more testing in a few days.

de_DE.UTF-8 is now one of the couple locales that are included by default.
See #782 for more info.
