CAN'T change default locale by dpkg-reconfigure locales

Mathsniper · 06-21-2006, 02:06 AM

I have isntalled this locales

Code:

mathsniper:~# locale -a
C
en_HK
en_HK.iso88591
en_HK.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.ujis
ja_JP.utf8
japanese
japanese.euc
POSIX
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb18030
zh_CN.gb2312
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8
zh_HK
zh_HK.big5hkscs
zh_HK.utf8
zh_TW
zh_TW.big5
zh_TW.euctw
zh_TW.utf8

And the default locales is en_HK. But now, I wanna remove

Code:

en_HK
en_HK.iso88591
en_HK.utf8

And set the default locales is en_US. But it doesn't work. And `locale -a` hasn't changed. What's the problem? This problem make me confused. I can't use SCIM due to LOCALES!
please help me to solve the problems... I have spent a week using computer and GOOGLE all time. But no answer found.

I don't think you need to remove the _HK locales if you wish to use _US instead (locale -a shows all the locales installed, not just the ones being used). What's going wrong with dpkg-reconfigure locales? Last time I used it, it just asked me what I want to use as the default locale and so on..really simple. Or does it not start?

The problem is not removing locale. I get trouble in default locale that `dpkg-reconfigure locales` does not change default locales. Do I miss some packages?

You mean that you get an error when running dpkg-econfigure locales, or just that the default locale don't change after running it?

If it's the second of these, you may need to edit your /etc/environment file manually to reflect the change.
