*SOLVED* locales [message #3166]

My HN is feodora core 4.

But when I install a fedora core 4 VPS using the minimal template, locales are not installed in the same manner as the fedora HN, and I don't see any LANG setting in my VPS environment.

On the HN, the fedora installer handles this, and I don't know how to get locales installed and configured in the VPS. I want en_US, but in /usr/share/locale I only see en_GB, plus various non english languages.

Looks like the glibc installation is a default setup. Is there any way to control this?

In the template config directory, .rpmmacros contains:

%_install_langs C

and I changed it to

%_install_langs en_US

and now /usr/share/locale has en, en_CA, and en_GB, but there is still not any en_US.

Does anyone know how to get en_US locale installed? I could not find answers by searching the forums here.

That is right, you need to modify %_install_langs in .rpmmacros file, and run vzpkgcache -f <affected_templates> after that. In your existing VEs the only way to add more locales is to reinstall all the affecting packages.

%_install_langs can look like this:

%_install_langs C:pl_PL:en_GB:en_US:de_DE:pl:en:de

%_install_langs can look like this:

%_install_langs C:pl_PL:en_GB:en_US:de_DE:pl:en:de

I set mine to:

%_install_langs C:en_US:en_US.UTF-8

and ran vzpkgcache -f <affected_templates> like you said, recreated the VPS, then copied /etc/sysconfig/i18n from the HN to the VPS.

Now the LANG and SUPPORTED environment variables are set correctly, just like the HN.

Thanks, Kir.
