Locale.gen and echoing LANG=es_US.UTF8 UTF-8 || Why "LANG"???

I noticed in the beginner tutorial during the locale-gen area it gives you some options.
EDIT!!! all es_US is really en_US. In bash I never typed es_US. So I changed my code examples from es_US to en_US
NOTE!! I am in learning mode so I am purposly messing with things. I have already got Arch Linux up and running... I am purposely breaking things to fix them.
First, I ran nano and looked at the locale.gen file and saw that it had a huge list.
then I ran
echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.gen
When I saw what happened other than being WOWed by learning what echo does. I saw that the locale.gen replaced the entire file with "LANG=es_US.UTF-8" and on top of that locale-gen has an error with the code.
I would prefer this
echo en_US.UTF-8 UTF 8 >> /etc/locale.gen
So does the beginner guide have an error? Because "LANG=" was never in the locale file to begin with and just uncommenting leaves "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" NOT "en_US.UTF-8"
Thank you for your time!

I did not tell you what the error was... that was my fault. The error went away with me fixing locale.gen to locale.conf.
Ranman: I have gone over the locale.conf wiki. Really what is hard is, when the wiki explains one thing, it explains it almost another language that I, yet again, have to look up something else. So I am hoping my question can be just treated as a simple question.
I can appreciate the intense amount of questions you get from people who do not read or care to take the time. However, I am not that guy. So can you please quit telling me to do research. Please read my whole post, I went through the beginner guide-Many times! It does not tell me what the difference between these two files are.
Yes locale.conf is in the wiki, but locale.gen is NOT. So if it is ok, see my next question...
That brings me to the next question. What is the difference of locale.conf and locale.gen?
if I run locale-gen that will pull the uncommented line and set it as language?
Or if I chose to use the echo to locale.conf
and export LANG=en_US... does this do the same thing?

Locale-gen and illegal seek

When I try to do "locale -a" for both regular user and root, I get this:
# locale -a
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
C
POSIX
And when I try to do "locale-gen" when "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" is uncommented from <i>/etc/locale.gen</i>, I get this:
# locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8...default character map file `ANSI_X3.4-1968' not found: Illegal seek
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help or should it be in the noob section. I'm guessing I'm starting to get this trouble after I've updated glibc since locale has been working perfectly fine before. ANSI_X3.4-1968.gz is in <i>/usr/share/i18n/charmaps/</i> and I've also tried "pacman -Sy glibc", but no succes. Any ideas?

sounds like it could be glibc. Have you tried downgrading it? If you haven't already deleted it, it should be in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. Use the -U switch to pacman plus that full path whatever it is.

[solved] locale-gen don't work

Hi,
I've just got new Arch install but it seems there's some slight problems with locales. I enable few of them in /etc/locale.gen. To be exact:
#en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_SG ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
#en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_ZA ISO-8859-1
#en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8
#li_NL UTF-8
#lo_LA UTF-8
lt_LT.UTF-8 UTF-8
lt_LT ISO-8859-13
#lv_LV.UTF-8 UTF-8
#lv_LV ISO-8859-13
But when I run
sudo locale-gen
I get only
Generating locales...
[edit].Setting system wide locale...Try `localedef --help' or `localedef --usage' for more information.
After that locale -a gives me only C and POSIX.
Maybe I'm missing something?

strange problem.
localedef seems to be a tool to build some locales
maybe something has gone wrong during the installation of locales.
try to reinstall glibc :
pacman -S glibc
and try again (you'll probably have to edit your /etc/locale.gen again)

Locale-gen command not found

Hi everyone
I just completed a new installation of Arch on my netbook, everything was working fine but there is a problem I can not solve.
I managed to set everything as I wanted and put the language of my XFCE and Firefox in Spanish, but then (I do not know exactly when) all programs returned to English.
I already check the rc.conf configuration and locale.gen and everything is set for Spanish, but when I try "sudo locale-gen" I recive a message like this: "sudo: locale-gen: command not found"
I also have problems with the keyboard, I configured xorg and rc.conf to use spanish keymap but it didn't work
Any ideas?

TigTex wrote:I made one arch install that has this problem... locale-gen doesnt work (for example) but it's full path works. How do I re-set the PATH variable?
All the problems I had with the PATH, keyboard and using other language than english had solved when I stop using autostart X in inittab , if I login to the terminal and start X myself, then everything works fine.
I am still looking for a way to start XFCE at boot without having to enter my username or password and not having the problems I told (CDM looks like the better way )

[SOLVED] locale-gen, nano, sed not available in arch-chroot

Both the Installation Guide and the Beginner's version say to use arch-chroot before configuring. However, when I try to do this, I no longer have access to the commands I need to do the configuration (e.g. sh: nano: command not found). I can use nano from outside of the chroot, but AFAIK locale-gen needs to be run inside, and it relies on sed which is also not present.
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before-- have I done something wrong?
EDIT: mkinitcpio is also not available while in arch-chroot

Hmmm no I did not do this, nor did I see any mention of it on the install guide. It just says to arch-chroot then (after editing a few files) run locale-gen and mkinitcpio, neither of which are accessible within the chroot'd shell.

So how to get en_CA.UTF-8 in effect? And why isn't in effect automatically? I installed recently and followed the locale-gen procedure. Only graphical stuff installed is i3, qupzilla & smplayer, no gnome or anything. I guess it's not related, but Dvorak layout is working as per vconsole.conf. Thanks

Asked and answered. You need to edit that file - this is described in the Beginners guide and installation guide (edit: and several times on the locale page).

[Solved]Emtpy locale.gen - can't generate locales

Hi,
after a fresh arch install I have some trouble setting locales. I searched the forum and wiki, but all solutions start with uncommenting the appropriate lines within /etc/locale.gen.
However, this file is empty! I tried removing the file and reinstalling glibc but this didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thx

It seems something went wrong with the install because this file shouldn't be empty. Installing glibc (which is also the package that contains 'locale-gen') should generate this file I think. Try reinstalling it. Or put this in there:
## Configuration file for locale-gen
## lists of locales that are to be generated by the locale-gen command.
## Each line is of the form:
## <locale> <charset>
## where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
## and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
## Examples:
## en_US ISO-8859-1
## en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
## de_DE ISO-8859-1
## de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
## The locale-gen command will generate all the locales,
## placing them in /usr/lib/locale.
## A list of supported locales is included in this file.
## Uncomment the ones you need.
## This file names the currently supported and somewhat tested locales.
## If you have any additions please file a glibc bug report.

Locale-gen error (solved) sort of

I am getting the following error using locale-gen...
[root@mauller obmenu-1.0]# locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8.../usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 41: 2780 Segmentation fault localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias $locale
the only ones i un-commented in /etc/locale.gen are the en-us ones. any thoughts on this one?

Sorry for responding to an old thread, but I have exactly the same problem of funkyou after having updated glibc to 2.5.2

Running `locale-gen` closes ssh session

I am trying to regenerate locales on a remote server running Archlinux. However, running `locale-gen` disconnects me, and I do not believe the job completes. I had the same problem on both Putty and the terminal (ssh from local box).
The locales that are uncommented are `en_US.UTF-8` and `en_US`. However, this problem only occurs if en_US.UTF-8 is uncommented. There is no problem when I am only generating the `en_US` locale.
This happens whether or not I have root privileges.
Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens? Thanks for any help!

The remote system could be using the locale you are trying to regenerate. I don't know exactly why it kicks you, my best guess is that you're session is running that locale and regenerating kind of restarts the whole session thing. MY BEST GUESS.
You could setup a bash script, with some delay.
sleep 40
locale-gen >> check.txt
and login after 1 min and check the check.txt file for the locale-gen output command to see if everything went fine.

HT1349 I have registered with my local library and can download books. But these are not being shown in ITunes, the Library does not show 'audiobooks'. I have an ipod 6G. can anyone help please?

I have recently purchased (from the States) an ipod nano 6th generation. I belong to a local library and can download books from the audiobooks online section. Problem is, my iPod when synced to iTunes, does not show Library as a category and audiobooks. For some reason, it is allowing me to download the books to my iPod, but I am unable to delete them from the iPod, and also, it is giving an echo (I think somehow it is downloading twice which is giving an echo effect). Not sure what is going on, but if anyone can advise me on this I would be very grateful.

Hello mrsbonniesue
If you have an issue with the audiobook showing up in music, check to see if those tracks are labeled as audio books or music. The article below will explained as well as I have highlighted the main portion for changing that information.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook

Ipod nano 2nd gen and dock/alarm clock

i have read through alot of the posts and have not seen anything similar to my question.
i got my daughter an ipod nano for xmas.
we really dont leave the computer on alot and she was wanting a docking station/speaker setup. i found one that charges it/ has speakers and is also an alarm clock.
she likes the idea of having the alarm clock with it.
this is the model she got: curtis iMode ip210 link to where it was bought http://hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?SID=0B568914D18A4CBEB2E80A95E8C46043&Produc tID=17180
we have not hooked it up yet because of a small problem maybe. (hooked up to power that is)
it came with a bunch of different adapters for the different ipod versions. well the nano one is incorrect. i guess due to ours being a 2nd gen version.
the ipod goes right on the dock fine with out it.
the little plastic adapter i got with the ipod kinda works in the slot of the radio but would need a little modification to snap in. the difference is the outside shape and would just needed some sanding. i have called the support number for the radio and all i could get from the was its not compatable. and i am not too sure why.
from what i have found out is all the ipod dock connectors are the same and there is no difference. not sure about this just what i have noticed.
i tried to call my local apple store and ask them but that guy started talking about firewire and problems. i told him how it docked and what it was and he still insisted on talking about firewire and those problems. i hung up as it didnt sound like he knew anything.
so now would i be ok in useing the adapter i got with the ipod and makeing some slight mods(sanding outside edge) to it. or is the something totally different between the 1st gen and 2nd gen that would mess up the ipod if put in this unit.
the reason i want this unit as it will replace her current alarm clock and she has a loft bed and its the only unit that we have seen that will fit and is in our price range.
thank you for your help

ipod nano 2nd gen Windows XP

The dock adaptor that came with the iPod is meant to fit Apple's universal dock and not a 3rd party accessory.
The reason you are having issues is because although the dock connectors on iPods are all the same (the pins are in the same place), the connector on the second gen nano is in a slightly different place than on the first. If you look at it from the bottom with the iPod face up, it's slightly more to the left. This, and the fact that it has a metal case with rounded edges, has made the new nano incompatible with almost all these type of accessories.
It's been mentioned here several times, and a few people have been able to get the manufacturer of the dock to supply them with an adaptor.

Hello, I've just purchased apple tv, 3rd gen, and I'm streaming from my mac book pro to my tv, and it keeps skipping slightly, i have reasonably good internet speed, approx 7-8 Gb.

hi, my apple tv i have purchased which is 3rd gen, is skipping when i stream to my tv, I'm using the latest software on my mac book pro, which is approx 2 years old, my router is only a few months old, but i am using power line adapters, but i have no problem downloading or watching internet telly 4OD/YOUTUBE etc.
is their anything i can do as i have only bought the apple tv for mainly streaming from my mac.
thanks
gary

If you are streaming from your Mac then your internet speed would be irrelevant. This is done over the local network, and that is where the issue lies.
Reboot ATV and router
Make sure router is up to date
If Apple TV is connecting via wifi, connect with ethernet
Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

IPod Nano (6th gen) and Technogym treadmill

Hi,
I have a 6th gen iPod Nano and I have been using it with nike+ for a while. In particular, I have been using the transmitter plugged in the ipod and the sensor in my nike shoe to track my running data and eventually upload it to nikeplus.com. Hence, I have one sensor linked.
Today, I went to my local gym and saw a Technogym treadmill with a big touchscreen and a possibility to dock an ipod. (I assume that the model of treadmill is a couple of years old, because it had a TV, fan, ipod support, etc., but no internet support. Here is the image of the exact treadmill - http://cityfitness.lv/upload/IMG_0452.JPG).
Moreover, I plugged in my 6th gen ipod nano. Set up and started a 5k run on the technogym treadmill. My ipods music was accessible on the technogym instantly. Also, I saw that during the workout the ipod's screen showed "Nike+. Workout data is recording" or something like that.
I did the 5k and finished the workout. I unplugged the iPod nano but my workout did not appear under Fitness - History. When I got home, I connected the ipod to iTunes, and the ordinary-afer-a-workout popup asking whether I want to send workout data to nikeplus appeard. I clicked yes. BUT, again, nikeplus.com does not show my technogym workout and neither does itunes.
The only thing appearing in iTunes, is a new sensor. Its name is "Gym User 1" or something like that.
So the question is. How can I get my 6th gen iPod Nano to fully work with technogym treadmill?
Thanks,
Reinis

Hello mark0198,
I'm afraid not. Your computer must meet the minimum requirements.
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later

UTF8, UTF-16 & Cloudscape

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when I'm trying to store and retrieve Big5 chars into Cloudscape
(which claims to support Unicode just the Java does). The following is the steps:
1. Prepare my Big5 chars
2. Run native2ascii -encoding UTF-16 (UTF8 gives MalformedInputException)
3. Running native2ascii -reverse perfectly reverses everything and I could see the Big5 chars.
So I guess this should right.
4. Inserted into Cloudscape by SQL: insert into theuser values('\uXXXX', 'elite02'); just to try out.
SQL select shows ? though.
5. I retrieve the String with normal rs.getString();
6. I output the string to a file to check if it is correct by doing:
new OutputStreamWriter() with UTF-16 (I got some other character), UTF8 (gives a ?) and even Big5 and I got crap.
Correct me if I'm wrong but my rationale is:
Java stores String as Unicode UTF-16 and since Cloudscape claims that I can just get
the Unicode String without any manual conversion, logically my String should contain
the right thing. Now when I output the String to file, wouldn't using the UTF-16 solve my
problem? I mean since String is UTF-16 and my output is also UTF-16, right?
Or do I still need to convert the String from Cloudscape to UTF8 (bear in mind this actually
gives exception with native2ascii tool) or UTF-16 before I can output it to UTF-16 file?
Or am I totally goofed up with these encoding stuff?
thank you guys in advance!

Hi,
the -encoding paramter of native2ascii is the encoding of your sourcefile. (the targetfile is ASCII-encoded).
So step 2 should be native2ascii -encoding Big5.Running native2ascii -reverse with the same encoding as in step 2 should always lead back to your original input, regardless of the -encoding parameter used (as long as it is the same).
I dont know Cloudscape, but I guess inserting your Strings from Step 2 by a java-program should work.
But you cant insert the values direct via SQL (because \uxxxx has only meaning in java).
Regards

Got java.lang.IllegalStateException: IOException: "utf-8"

Can someone please help me with this? I got a java.lang.IllegalStateException: IOException: "utf-8" error when calling web service. The exception is like the following:
javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: IOException: "utf-8"
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAP11Fault.getProtocolException(SOAP11Fault.java:196)
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.createException(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:122)
at com.sun.xml.ws.client.dispatch.DispatchImpl.doInvoke(DispatchImpl.java:196)
at com.sun.xml.ws.client.dispatch.DispatchImpl.invoke(DispatchImpl.java:215)
at oracle.sysman.connector.common.ConnectorServiceSoapWrapper.sendRequestBase(ConnectorServiceSoapWrapper.java:202)
ConnectorServiceSoapWrapper is my class and in sendRequestBase() method I had the following statement to invoke the web service.
Dispatch<SOAPMessage> dispatch = service.createDispatch(null, SOAPMessage.class, Service.Mode.MESSAGE);
SOAPMessage responseMsg = dispatch.invoke(msg);
dispatch object is an instance of javax.xml.ws.Dispatch and service is an instance of javax.xml.ws.Service. It looks like the error is thrown out before the web service is called. Does anyone have any idea what's happening here?
My java version is
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
Thanks!

I was reading the source code of com.sun.xml.ws.client.dispatch.DispatchImpl
http://www.docjar.com/html/api/com/sun/xml/ws/client/dispatch/DispatchImpl.java.html
And the following piece of the code is part of the stack trace.
+195 } catch(Throwable e){+
+196 // it could be a RuntimeException resulting due to some internal bug or+
+197 // its some other exception resulting from user error, wrap it in+
+198 // WebServiceException+
+199 throw new WebServiceException(e);+
+200 }+
Anyone has any hint? Thanks!
