I know this questions is in the FAQ, however it doesn't work for me. I've got Ubuntu 8.04 in German. But when I try to start geany in any other language using LANG=lb geany for example, I end ub with geany in English and get the following Debug message. WARNING : Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
Can you please post what locale is giving you back on commandline?
?
In most cases it is because lb is not configured on your system. On Debian this can be done with
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
If I understand $search_enging correct you will need to add lb into file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales after.
I did that. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" outputs a list with locales that it updated. The last line it writes gives:
lb_LU.UTF-8... cannot open locale definition file `lb_LU': No such file or directory failed
I wonder what files it's looking for and also where it is looking for them.
I have an empty folder in /usr/lib/locale with the name "lb_LU.utf8" and an empty file called "lb" in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/
I doubt that these things should actually be empty.
A more general, less Debian-specific approach is to edit /etc/locale.gen and add lb_LU.utf-8 or whatever is the correct language code for Luxembourg. After that, run 'locale-gen' to generate the newly added locale. Then LANG=lb_LU.utf-8 geany should work.
However, completely unrelated to Geany.
Couldn't find /etc/locale.gen on my Ubuntu. I guess this is one of the points where Ubuntu differs from Debian.
