Localization Manager (addlocale)

[Kurdistan]

I have tried also run addlocale from command line by using root. This is what I get.

yes, I know. I must first fix lomanager then after that addlocale but I'm in holidays right now, so very little time for coding. Maybe next Sunday you will get addlocale 4.0.

Thats weird becuase lomanager is working for me. I have Libreoffice installed in swedish. Is there any way to downgrade current addlocale version? I have the latest addlocale 3.8-10. installed. Okey have a nice holiday. I tried the command line

Code: [Select]

addlocale --no-vtest with no luck either, but this time different messages came up. I will wait to next Sunday and see if it works then. What exactly does the addlocale script install?

Have nice time!

Problem solved thanks to Melodie. Melodie gave me a repo with older addlocale version and after installing it my addlocale worked.

Hi,

After installing it AND repairing the rpm database. Remember the message error you got, you had a problem with the rpm database and at first you could not succeed in installing the older addlocale. So we don't know if the problem you had just before came from the database which was corrupted, or if there was a conflict in addlocale version numbers that produced the rpm db to be corrupted.

Anyhow if an addlocale does not behave correctly at one's people machine it probably can not hurt to advise a "rpm --rebuilddb" as root, in case it could help.

Regards,
Mélodie

Thank You.

Hi,

Look in your sources.list, this was belnet, one of the repositories less fast and less up to date. You should find addlocale in the RPMS.updates directory.

addlocale 4.0 coming to your repo soon with these changes:
- command-line options added: if interested enter: addlocale --help
- addlocale version test now properly checks against ibiblio-repo
- display relevant info on respective webpages
- added browser detection
- improved setup when run from non en_US systems
- added test for outdated rpm-chain
- added test for local repo
- updated all translations
- added progress bars for package checking and installation
- verification of package availability and download
- added installation logfile: /tmp/addlocale-install.log
- still todo: add a progress bar when downloading the required language packages

Note: Changing from a non en_US locale to another non en_US locale should not but may create problems due to atypical command-line output in the foreign language. There shouldn't be any problem but just in case: it is always safer to first revert to the default en_US system and then add a new localization.
Anyway, enough for today... 
best,

Is it working already ? Yesterday I installed a PCLOS machine and could not set it to my country's locale.
It was addlocale 4.0, but the error message was the same reported by Kurdistan.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

that was 3.8-10, get the addlocle 4.0 rpm package once available in Synaptic.  4.0-1 works fine. There may be issues when running 4.0-1 on non en_US systems. Adding progress bars was quite some work and I still need to fine-tune some small things to properly examine output from non en_US systems. Working on that in the next days...

Ok, thank you Mr. Pinoc for your quick response.
So far, we'll just have to wait.
When it's out, it's out and we'll see the update on the repos, so...
Best regards

Best regards!

Great! Pinoc if I have my system in the language I want, do I need to run addlocale every time addlocale gets update?

You are making a great work.

No, only run addlocale to add a new language or too switch back to the default en_US
