Re: backing to default locale

mm i tried that but it`s no back to default
if you wonder how i know that there is one simple answer : vlc.

before i change the locale the vlc always noticed me that he can`t set the locale

now, after i "comment all entries and run locale-gen" i don`t get  this message - that means i didn't coming back to default - or i wrong?

Re: backing to default locale

Re: backing to default locale

The default locale is en_us.utf8 which comes uncommented by default in don't panic.

Before that release all of the locales were commented by default and you needed to uncomment en_us.utf8 yourself.

Re: backing to default locale

ok, before "don't panic" has been released , what happed if you didn`t uncomment any locale?
( "all of the locales were commented by default")

Re: backing to default locale

You would most likely get errors.

Out of curiosity why do you want to have no locales - it seems a bit odd.

Re: backing to default locale

well you right - i did get errors ( vlc and pacman ) then i added the en_us.utf8 to locale and the errors were gone.

But

after i commented en_us.utf8 and run "locale-gen" the errors should coming back - well they don`t - Why? 

i think that the changing with the locale i did  coused me a problem with terminal emulator

any idea?
