I also did encounter the same problem in piCoreplayer 8.2.0. I solved
this with a sollution I found on
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24654.msg167051.html#msg167051
.
In your home directory, create a file called getlocale.sh
Code:
--------------------
vi getlocale.sh
--------------------
copy following text in it
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/init.d/tc-functionsgetlocae.sh
checkroot
SFILE=/usr/local/share/getlocale/SUPPORTED
# Override terminal, incase ncurses-terminfo is not loaded
export TERM=xterm
export tempfile=`mktemp`
temp2=`mktemp`
echo "#!/bin/sh" > $temp2
echo "dialog --backtitle \"TinyCore\" \\" >> $temp2
echo " --title \"LOCALE\" \"\$@\" \\" >> $temp2
echo "--separate-output --checklist \"Choose which locales to support:\" 0 42
20 \\" >> $temp2
for i in `cat $SFILE`; do
echo "$i \" \" off \\" >> $temp2
done
echo "2> $tempfile" >> $temp2
chmod 755 $temp2
$temp2
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exit 1
rm $temp2
clear
echo -e "${BLUE}Press enter to start processing."
read gagme
# Data available. Process.
clear
echo -ne "${BLUE}Now processing... ${CYAN}"
mkdir -p /usr/lib/locale
( for i in `cat $tempfile`; do
dest=${i%%/*}
charset=${i##*/}
locale=${dest%%.*}
nice -n19 localedef -i $locale -c -f $charset $dest
done
echo "$dest" > /tmp/examplelocale
) &
rotdash $!
rm $tempfile
echo -ne "\n${BLUE}Locales installed. Creating extension... ${CYAN}"
( tempdir=`mktemp -d`
cd $tempdir
mkdir -p usr/lib/locale
cp -a /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive usr/lib/locale
cd ..
chmod 755 $tempdir
rm -f mylocale.tcz
mksquashfs $tempdir mylocale.tcz > /dev/null 2>&1
rm -rf $tempdir
) &
rotdash $!
TCEDIR=`cat /opt/.tce_dir 2>/dev/null`
readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir >/dev/null && TCEDIR=`readlink
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir`
OPTIONAL=${TCEDIR}/optional
cp /tmp/mylocale.tcz $OPTIONAL
grep -q "^mylocale.tcz" ${TCEDIR}/onboot.lst 2>/dev/null || echo
"mylocale.tcz" >> ${TCEDIR}/onboot.lst
echo "glibc_gconv.tcz" > ${OPTIONAL}/mylocale.tcz.dep
md5sum ${OPTIONAL}/mylocale.tcz > ${OPTIONAL}/mylocale.tcz.md5.txt
echo -e "\n\n${GREEN}Done. The extension is at ${OPTIONAL}/mylocale.tcz and
in onboot.lst"
echo "Reboot with lang=xyz (for example lang=`cat /tmp/examplelocale`) to
start using this."
echo -e "\n\nPress enter to quit.${NORMAL}"
read gagme
rm -f /tmp/examplelocale
--------------------
make it executable
Code:
--------------------
sudo chmod 755 getlocale.sh
--------------------
and run as root
Code:
--------------------
sudo ./getlocale.sh
--------------------
