Locale Issues
So, when I
arecord -l, my terminal isn't displaying some of the characters for a microphone I have. I heard this was a locale issue, so when I run locale, I get
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I should be on en-utf8. Also, I'm missing my locale.sh file. Most of the stuff I've searched involves initscripts which I believe is not supported anymore.

Re: Locale Issues
Here is what I have done so far:
I have updated everything. I have put LANG=en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
in my /etc/locale.conf file
I have tried doing locale-gen again.
I could not find my locale.sh file at all.

Re: Locale Issues
What is the output of
grep -v '^#' /etc/locale.genWhat do you mean you can't find locale.sh? Where have you looked? It should be in /etc/profile.d/, if it isn't, you need to reinstall the filesystem package.

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1 and how would I do that. It is not in /etc/profile.d/
$ ls /etc/profile.d
gpm.sh jre.sh mozilla-common.sh perlbin.sh
jre.csh mozilla-common.csh perlbin.csh vte.shOffline

Re: Locale Issues
Yeah, so you followed some random 3rd party video and it didn't work. Shocker.
