define your LANG environment

after installing cedega and trying to run any software through it i get

Quote:

Warning: Language 'en_LV' was not found, retrying without country name... For language 'en' several language ids were found: en_US - 0409; en_GB - 0809; en_AU - 0C09; en_CA - 1009; en_NZ - 1409; en_IE - 1809; en_ZA - 1C09; en_JM - 2009; en_ - 2409; en_BZ - 2809; en_TT - 2C09; Instead of using first in the list, suggest to define your LANG environment variable like this: LANG=en_US

Anyone can tell me what should i do and how can i do? :/

At your console type export LANG=en_us
and then run cedega

In the file ~/.bash_profile, add the following line:

Code:

export LANG=en_US

This will set the LANG variable each time you log in.

Now run the command to make the settings take effect immediately:

Code:

source ~/.bash_profile

I assume en_LV is English-Latvian. It is probably better just to use US "English", en_US.

I hope this helps

Its in your home directory. Note that it has a leading dot, which means that it is hidden. To view all the hidden files in your home directory, execute the command "ls -l" in a terminal window. If it doesn't exist, you can simply create it.

Note that the tilda (~) is a shortcut to your home directory. For example, you can type "cd ~" and it will take you straight to your home directory

and ehr.. it's no difference where this file will be? Does it have to have some kind of extension or smthn?

You will need to open it using an editor, like vi:

Code:

vi ~/.bash_profile

Press i to enter insert mode, end ESC-ZZ to save and exit.

Quote:

export lang=en_us

Sorry, thats all I can think of. Try reading the documentation for Cedega, and see if there is an answer in there. Make sure that LANG is in capital letters, because Linux is Case Sensitive.

Thanks for helping IBall :)

Maybe anyone else knows what to do if this don't work? :(
