 |
|
Hello, everyone!
I used to use zh_TW.UTF-8 as my locale setting. Several days ago, I found that I can't use my locale anymore. My GUI language changed into English as well.
The error message looks like this:
| Code: | | bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (zh_TW.utf8) |
This is the result from "eselect locale list":
| Code: | # eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[1] C
[2] POSIX
[3] zh_TW.UTF-8 *
[ ] (free form) |
Almost all of locales disappeared!
What can I do to fix it? |

That's a big "BTW"!
I'm not sure if it will help you, but below is how I set up the time zone and locale in a distribution that uses systemd:
1. Listed the available time zones:
| Code: | | # timedatectl list-timezones |
(Pressed the Space Bar to page through the list, and the Q key to exit the list.)
2. Specified the timezone I wanted:
| Code: | | # timedatectl set-timezone America/Sao_Paulo |
3. Listed the current locale:
| Code: | # localectl list-locales
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8 |
4. I wanted to change the current locale and also add a locale, so I edited the locale.gen file:
| Code: | | # nano /etc/locale.gen |
I wanted to have just British English and Brazilian Portuguese, so I made the file contain only the following:
| Code: | en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8
pt_BR ISO-8859-1 |
If I had only wanted one language (I’ll use Brazilian Portuguese as an example), I would have made it contain the following instead:
| Code: | pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8
pt_BR ISO-8859-1 |
5. Generated the locale(s):
| Code: | # locale-gen
* Generating 4 locales (this might take a while) with 1 jobs
* (1/4) Generating en_GB.UTF-8 ... [ ok ]
* (2/4) Generating en_GB.ISO-8859-1 ... [ ok ]
* (3/4) Generating pt_BR.UTF-8 ... [ ok ]
* (4/4) Generating pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 ... [ ok ]
* Generation complete |
6. Listed the locales I had configured, just to be sure:
| Code: | # localectl list-locales
en_GB
en_GB.iso88591
en_GB.utf8
pt_BR
pt_BR.iso88591
pt_BR.utf8 |
7. Set the language I wanted to use:
| Code: | | # localectl set-locale LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 |
8. Listed the console keymaps available:
| Code: | | # localectl list-keymaps |
9. Chose the console keymap I wished to use:
| Code: | | # localectl set-keymap br-abnt2 |
N.B. The above systemd command did not change the console keymap specified in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which remained as “vconsole.keymap=us“. I fixed that later by editing /etc/default/grub and running grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, as I show further on.
10. Listed the X11 keymaps available:
| Code: | | # localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts |
11. Chose the X11 keymap I wished to use:
| Code: | | # localectl set-x11-keymap br |
12. Updated the environment variables and profile to adopt what I had specified:
| Code: | | # env-update && source /etc/profile |
13. Rebooted:
14. Logged-in as the root user.
15. Fixed the console keymap specified in grub.cfg:
| Code: | | # nano /etc/default/sabayon-grub |
and replaced “vconsole.keymap=us” with “vconsole.keymap=br-abnt2“. Then regenerate grub.cfg:
| Code: | | # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
16. If you use KDE, you'll also need to install the KDE internationalisation package:
In my case, I would have the following in /etc/portage/make.conf:
| Code: | # grep "LINGUAS\|L10N" /etc/portage/make.conf
LINGUAS="en en_GB pt_BR"
L10N="en en-GB pt-BR" |

Does this mean locale-gen failed?
I tried localectl command, but it still not work. |
