dpkg-reconfigure locales

[Bequimão]

Hi kabbalah,

Welcome to siduction!

You have installed KDE or another desktop?

If you read Portuguese you will find detailed answers here

Configurar o KDE em pt_br

Configurar a locale do root

and the language configuration of iceweasel
Instalando flashplugin


I have a installation in two languages (Portuguese and German) and can switch at will.

Best wishes,
Bequimão

Ok, I installed Gnome 3.4.

The idea of dpkg-reconfigure locales, not work.

In Locale.gen is:

# es_BO.UTF-8 UTF-8
# es_CL ISO-8859-1
# es_CL.UTF-8 UTF-8
es_CO ISO-8859-1
es_CO.UTF-8 UTF-8
# es_CR ISO-8859-1
# es_CR.UTF-8 UTF-8
# es_DO ISO-8859-1

It is since terminal: when selection: es_CO

root@siductionbox:/home/julio# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Which flavour you have installed?

[Bequimão]

no problem here

root@siductionbox:/home2/siduction/bequimao# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  de_DE.UTF-8... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  es_CO.UTF-8... done
  pt_BR.UTF-8... done

Although I would execute this in a text terminal [Ctrl + Alt + F1]. Changes in former tests in a graphical terminal did not stay permanent.

What about gnome desktop? A gnome desktop would be experimental and not supported by the community.

The evolution to siduction brought the sudden death to the term 'not supported'  :lol:

Those community members, though not almighty, using Gnome will be happy to assist if Gnome-related problems need to be discussed.

No problem here as well.
Please post the output of

inxi -v1for towo to evaluate the flavour question, that towo raised.

[orangeli]

After dpkg-reconfigure locales the available languages in system settings - locale are unchanged?
How to add another input language with panel indication?

[dibl]

Which desktop environment?  With KDE, it is system-settings > input devices > keyboard > layouts.

[towo]

For KDE kde-l10n-es must be installed. Siduction does not ship all aviable lang-packages.

Thanks dibl!
