Re: are your locales borked?
As opposed to using the "System Locales" tool in MX Tools?

Re: are your locales borked?
Please ask how locales are handled with MX Linux, and perhaps have a look into the MX User manual, if you are going to advice how to deal with locale in MX Linux.manyroads wrote: ↑Mon Jul 15, 2019 12:11 pm If you are experiencing problems with your system locales, this may help you out. It did me.

Also note "fixing" or re-setting locales might not be needed from user perspective, as s/he can always select the locale during login which stay sticky.

Re: are your locales borked?
The System Locales in MX Tools did not work for me, for some reason. Yes, it makes me feel special. The above did. I have no idea why there was a difference.

Any idea what you made to your nice system to get it borked

Re: are your locales borked?
I was trying to reduce useless fonts (my Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Georgian, Russian, Ukarinian, etc are all very weak.) Somehow that caused zim (wiki) which I rely on as a memory replacement to get python locales errors. This was the only thing that brought my zim (memory) back.

Re: are your locales borked?
What does borked mean?

Re: are your locales borked?
This vid by dolphin_oracle, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbOYfl1K6wE ,at 5:56, states that if I'm a "one language kind of guy" I can remove all but my language. Sounds good to me, but how to determine which ones to remove? There are several check by default. Two of which start with en_US... which I assume means English_United States. Several others; ar_EG, be_BY, bg_BG are selected... Is there a chart that defines these so one can select/de select what's appropriate?
@dolphin_oracle; good video by the way

Re: are your locales borked?
Yes. To get a chart of your current enabled locale you can run this from commandline:
Code: Select all
for L in $(locale -a); do printf "%-15s : %s\n" $L "$(LANG=$L locale title)"; done
