 Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 7:52 pm Post subject: Trouble setting up the locale |
 |
|
Hello,
I am at the part of the install where I need to configure my locale, which is:
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
so, I made a nano file at /etc/locale.gen that contains only the two locale codes listed above.
When I go to the next step of the install:
I get this:
| Code: | (chroot) sysresccd / # nano -w /etc/locale.gen
(chroot) sysresccd / # locale-gen
bash: locale-gen: command not found
(chroot) sysresccd / # locale -a
bash: locale: command not found |
I am not sure what to do, I read the Localization/Guide in the Gentoo Handbook but I still cannot find an answer.
Does anyone here have any idea of what I can do to fix the problem? I would appreciate ANY help at all
Thank you

Seems strange that it wouldn't be in your path, not sure why that would be.
I would try running the command by using the full path, which should be at "/usr/sbin/locale-gen".

| What stage archive (tarball) do you use? Some archives are based on C standard library (other than glibc) that does not provide locale-gen. |

Did you successfully chroot into your new installation?
I'm asking because | Quote: | | (chroot) sysreccd / # |
Wouldn't be the outcome of the $PS1 on a new system or by following the guide. |

this is the tarball that I downloaded above^^
and HungGarTiger, this is my first installation attemp at gentoo. the only other distro I have used is Debian, which is ultra-easy to install (no chrooting at all). That being said I am not entirely sure if I am properly chroot'ing, nI thought I was until you made your post... now Im doubting myself, lol... I am using SystemRescueCD, not the minimal install cd if that makes any difference in the way it would appear onscreen?

If you are mounting the /proc, /sys and /dev file systems correctly then the command | Code: | | chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
will work without a hitch. If you've followed the guide to the letter the PS1 will read from memory. |

HungGarTiger,
Thanks for the tip, I'm chroot'ed in to my new environment and the install is moving forward again, I will update either when I have another question, lol... or I successfully finish the install.

This may also solve the problem you were having in your own ther thread btw.
Ask, don't forget to mark your thread [solved] as this helps other people when they are searching for answers to the same problem |

For me, SystemRescueCD worked without the special installation instructions of the "installation alternative guide". |
