Include locales-all in default image (xfce) #211

Closed RainmakerRaw closed 1 year ago

RainmakerRaw commented 1 year ago

Running the XFCE version (XFCE_11.220925_x86-64), I noticed that I couldn't get powerline/ohmyzsh glyphs to render correctly in xfce4-terminal, despite having appropriate Nerd Fonts installed. I also had some other errors about locale settings every time I installed packages.

I set and updated locales, both through sudo dpkg-rconfigure locales and the GUI tool provided, but none of the errors went away. After some searching, I found the solution. I had to install locales-all and then issue sudo update-locale again, and the errors went away. Please consider including locales-all as part of future images, this took me a while to track down! Thanks.

Thanks for mentioning this issue. I'll look into it again, but I'm almost sure that I considered locales-all for inclusion but decided against it for some reason because it broke some other aspect of the locales configuration. I'll see what I can find. Thanks!

It looks like locales-all is not the solution. Please use the SpiralLinux language installation helper script. https://github.com/SpiralLinux/SpiralLinux-project/releases/tag/12.231001
