Keyboard and locale problems
Hi, I have just done a hard disc install of Knoppix 3.3 which gives me Debian 2.4.24-xfs. I am having problems with my graphics card (Matrox MGA Millenium) and so cannot run a GUI on the box itself. This means that I miss out on all the graphical configuration tools which come with the KDE desktop, and I have to manage the system remotely using an X-Server on my Windows PC. First problem - can't find any obvious X (or even non-X) configuration tool widgets to automate configuration (such as found under KDE or like 'linuxconf' under RedHat). Second problem - I am stuck with a US keyboard layout and a UK keyboard. I am trying to change the default 'locale' settings in /etc/sysconfig, but I can't seem to get the settings right. [BTW why is the configuration file named 'i18n'?] >From browsing man pages I think it should be 'en_uk' or 'en_UK'; however if I fire up a new xterm 'locale returns: g# locale 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 locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_UK LC_CTYPE="en_UK" LC_NUMERIC="en_UK" LC_TIME="en_UK" LC_COLLATE="en_UK" LC_MONETARY="en_UK" LC_MESSAGES="en_UK" LC_PAPER="en_UK" LC_NAME="en_UK" LC_ADDRESS="en_UK" LC_TELEPHONE="en_UK" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_UK" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_UK" LC_ALL= My i18n configuration file contains: :/etc/sysconfig# cat i18n LANG="en_UK" COUNTRY="uk" LANGUAGE="uk" CHARSET="iso8859-1" XMODIFIERS="" The original was: :/etc/sysconfig# cat i18n.old LANG="C" COUNTRY="us" LANGUAGE="us" CHARSET="iso8859-1" XMODIFIERS="" Any assistance gratefully received; I have been spoiled by automated configuration tools and going back to editing text configuration files is causing me some pain :-) TIA Dave R -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
