Polybar module language issue #247

Closed cyl3x closed 2 years ago

cyl3x commented 2 years ago

Detailed Description

I use German as my primary language on my system. The polybar module/used-memory uses "free -m" to detect the current memory usage, but because my language is not English and "free" giving outputs in native languages, the "sed"-command to prass the output is not working. My simple fix for that is adding "LANG=en_US.utf-8" in front of the command sequence.

Steps to Reproduce

Change language to something else than english
