Summary: error: locale file not found Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: rado84 Submitted on: Wed 18 Nov 2020 12:49:49 PM UTC Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: Release: other Discussion Lock: Any Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Until yesterday I had a GTX 1050 Ti installed. Then I bought and installed GTX 1660 Ti and this is where the weird stuff began. When 1050 is installed everything is OK. But with 1660 grub first look like the attached screenshot. 1 or 2 seconds pass and then the actual grub menu appears where I can choose an operating system to boot. I'm using Linux for 4 years and have never seen Bulgarian text in the grub menu which is why this error puzzles me. On top of that it's looking for a file extension 'gmo', not 'mo'. In order to be sure in the error I removed the 1660 Ti and installed 1050 Ti back into the computer, then booted the system. This error didn't show up. I put back the 1660 Ti and the error returned. My best guess is that this is some kind of a grub2 error but what causes it (other than changing video cards) I have no idea. Grub version is: [rado@arch]: ~>$ search grub core/grub 2:2.04-8 [installed] P.S. I tried some crude fix which worked for a while. But only for a while. I took the file uk.mo, renamed it to bg.gmo and put it back in /boot/grub/locale. At first it seemed to work and the error didn't appear anymore but then somehing else happened - the grub menu explanation (the one that describes how to use arrows to select an OS) became in something similar to a Russian language but not exactly Russian. So I removed the fake bg.gmo file, the description reverted back to English and the error about missing bg.gmo file returned.
