[SOLVED] bsdcpio: Failed to set default locale

All I did:

nano /etc/locale.gen and unmark

de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8869-15

locale-gen

de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8869-15

Generation complete.

mkinitcpio -p linux

WARNING: keymap: hook specified, but no KEYMAP found in configuration
bsdcpio: Failed to set default locale

Image generation successful.

locale -a

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LS_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
de_DE
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE.iso88591€euro
de_DE.utf8
de_DE@euro
deutsch
german

and locale

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LS_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
.
.
.
LC_ALL=

I searched the forum and all I found did not help, mkinitcpio -p linux is giving the exact same thing again and again.

TIA

Re: [SOLVED] bsdcpio: Failed to set default locale

Re-read the wiki and https://plus.google.com/114015603831160 … zKCcnTWDpa
Do you want to use 'en_US.UTF-8' locale? Where have you set the locale you want to use: /erc/rc.conf, locale.conf, somewhere else? Please post that file.

When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

Re: [SOLVED] bsdcpio: Failed to set default locale

thank you for your reply and your hints karol.

I should've read the wiki more carefully, sry for that.

I just added

KEYMAP="de"

in /etc/rc.conf and

KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys"

in /etc/vconsole.conf

for me, It's just working with these two.

thanks for your help

cheers
