I'm on Debian 10.1 (upgraded from stretch) XFCE.
I'm trying to change my locale to US english but only succeded in parts of the system. The rest doesn't change after various attempts. Here's what I tried:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
After that I rebooted the system and ran: $ locale
Code: Select all
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=fr_FR.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ALL=
Then I ran
Code: Select all
$ export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Code: Select all
$ env | grep LANG
LANG=fr_FR.utf8
Code: Select all
