Also read the sitckies, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
The idea is that you post the outputs of the commands referenced in that thread.

System Locale: LANG=es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8

That's bogus.

cat /etc/locale.conf
locale

iSantxs · 2024-02-04 20:39:28

What d'u mean?

[~] cat /etc/locale.conf

LANG=es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8

[~] locale

locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such fi>

"LANG=es_MX.UTF-8"
"es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8" isn't a valid locale.

iSantxs · 2024-02-04 21:18:51

It is!, i solved it with this finally:

checking if the /etc/locale.gen is withouth #, all good with it.

[~] locale-gen 

in the file /etc/locale.conf it should be:

LANG=es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8

then
[~] localectl set-locale LANG=es_MX.UTF-8

finally
[~] reboot

and now rofi work's

thx u so much anyway bro

seth · 2024-02-04 21:23:08

localectl set-locale LANG=es_MX.UTF-8

And now, re-inspect /etc/locale.conf…

"es_MX.UTF-8 UTF-8" is the line you want to uncomment in /etc/locale.gen (and it was, according to #5), but it's NOT a valid locale.

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
