[SOLVED] Any way to make Yaourt/Pacman ignore locale settings?

Deusdies · 2011-12-20 02:01:25

So here's the thing. I have my computer running in Serbian locale, which uses cyrilic alphabet (као например ово). While I'm fine with this (obviously), I use roman script to type commands in the terminal. Here's where the first world problem arises:

# pacman -S chromium
#Да ли сте сигурни? (Д/Н)

This last sentence asks "are you sure?" with the Serbian equivalent of Y/N as an answer. The problem is that I have to switch keyboard layouts, type Д, and switch back to English layout being as that I'll most likely continue using the terminal.

So the question is: can I make Pacman (and Yaourt) ignore the locale settings somehow?

Thanks.

LANG=C pacman -Syu

You could even set up an alias for that...

Nastaviti sa instalacijom? [D/n] 
Наставити са инсталацијом? [Д/н] 
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Default answer is "Yes", so you can just hit Enter key.
Also, default answer in all other cases is usually the best one.

Other than that, I would also recomend an alias... or a better key sequence to change layout.

Thanks, this worked - at least to an extent.

How would I go about creating an alias so that when I type pacman -Syu I actually get LANG=C pacman -Syu?

Didn't realize "Da" was the default answer.

Also, how do you get the latin script?

Hvala puno i pozdrav
