ImportError: No module named snack

whether there is any possible way to modify language other than system-config-language command

Quote:

i tried out the following to change the default lang setting to russian ,inorder to make setting to active i make a reboot,But after reboot locale setting goes to default lang setting to english

Quote:

[root@localhost ~]# LANGUAGE=ru_RU LANG=ru_RU

Quote:

Before reboot

[root@localhost ~]# locale
LANG=ru_RU
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU"
LC_TIME="ru_RU"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU"

Probably reinstall the package 'newt', which provides snack.py

Did you change anything with the default python ? ( $ python --version )

Solved

Thanks all for ur reply

If system-config-language don´t help you, try this.

Go to the CentOS system configuration diretory

$ cd /etc/sysconfig

Make backup copy of your language setting file

$ cp i18n i18n.backup

Edit language setting file to allow english as default.You can edit the file by using nano or vim text editors available on all CentOS systems from SSH. I prefer vim, but nano is more easier:

$ nano i18n

Edit the file to include these lines as the first three lines of the file: $ LANG="en_US.UTF-8" $ SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" $ SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"

Save the file and restart system. If you can not restart the system you need to have permission to restart init.d
