[Bug 1255761] Re: Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker
I think the lesson here is to not use localepurge? Knut, I suspect parts of your system are still botched because of localepurge, if you run debsums with sudo it *could* *maybe* give an indication of which files were altered/removed WRT localization causing issues like the dictionary names. However that better had been handled in a forum. Regarding your LANG setting... remove setlocale.sh, then log out, and back in. LANG should now have the values whatever you installed your system with (e.g. en_US-UTF-8). Make sure you select an appropriate country setting in systemsettings. setlocale.sh should be recreated upon saving the changes and should now be using UTF-8 and the specified country (e.g. es_ES.UTF-8). Anyway. Moving bug to localepurge. Perhaps that package needs a a couple of warning signs pointing out that using it is going to break one's system. Certainly would be handy information. ** Package changed: kde-runtime (Ubuntu) => localepurge (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: localepurge (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: localepurge (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker + localepurge breaks KDE l10n -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255761 Title: localepurge breaks KDE l10n To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/localepurge/+bug/1255761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1255761] Re: Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker
Well, /usr/share/locale/all_languages didn't exist. Just reinstalling kdelibs5-data didn't help to bring it back. Following Steve's suggestion and uninstalling localepurge first did the job. But it helped only partially. 1. In systemsettings language I get the list with all languages again and even can choose my preferred languages. But still there are no flags, neither in the language setting dialogue nor for the keyboard switch widget in the taskbar. 2. I still can't choose any other currency except US dollar, but even for that not a symbol. 3. No change in the country tab. It still offers "System Country ()" and "No Country (Default Settings)". Doesn't state that Spanish is set als system language nor offers to change that. 4. In systemsettings dictionary I can choose now from "German ()" "English ()" "English" "Spanish ()" "Spanish". Notice that English and Spanish occure twice and German only once. 5. In kmail the situation imporved partially. I can now select die dictionary for spell checking again. Only drawback, the German dictionary doesn't work, whereas both English and Spanish dictionaries do. And German unfortunately is the one I use most ;-( 6 The localization of the kde applications seems to work again. Menus are in the language that is the top one in "Preferred Languages", except for the applications where the language was set separately. Furthermor I noticed that ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh is back again. It actually is created every time language settings are saved. And it still messes up locales. After reinstalling kdelibs5-data and making some changes to language settings they looked as follows: knut@knubuntu:~$ 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=de_C.ISO-8859-1 LANGUAGE=de:es:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= with ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh: export LANG=de_C.ISO-8859-1 export LANGUAGE=de:es:en_GB:en knut@knubuntu:~$ 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=es_C.ISO-8859-1 LANGUAGE=es:de:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_C.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= with ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh: export LANG=es_C.ISO-8859-1 export LANGUAGE=es:de:en_GB:en knut@knubuntu:~$ 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_GB.ISO-8859-1 LANGUAGE=en_GB:es:de:en LC_CTYPE="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= with ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh: export LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-1 export LANGUAGE=en_GB:es:de:en In all cases instead of UTF-8 ISO-8859-1 was set as charset which interferred with quite a few applications as digikam and kontact. And except for the English setting we again have strange locales like de_C.ISO-8859-1 or es_C.ISO-8859-1. After I deleted the file everything went back to normal and the system works as above stated. The only thing I have do do that it stays like that, is deleting ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh every time I make changes to language settings in systemsettings. BTW, after deleting it the first time at least the ISO-8859-1 charset isn't appended anymore, but UTF-8 again. So I would say it more or less works for me again with some minor drawbacks - like deleting ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh business and the missing flags and currency symbols - and of course the missing German spell checking, which I regard a major loss. BTW, apart from reinstalling kdelibs5-data I reinstalled all laguage packages including those for kde and gnome. Only exception packages related to firefox and libreoffice. ** Attachment added: "all_languages" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kd

Bingo! That file was indeed missing. Reinstalling kdelibs5-data didn't bring it back. Then I thought -- maybe localepurge (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=localepurge) is the culprit? I uninstalled localepurge, reinstalled kdelibs5-data, and now the file is present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255761 Title: Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1255761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Does the file /usr/share/locale/all_languages exists? If so, please attach it, then install the package debsums and run `debsums -c`, also attach the output of the command. If not, please run `sudo apt-get install --reinstall kdelibs5-data` and check whether that brings back the file and restores expected behavior. ** Changed in: kde-runtime (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255761 Title: Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-runtime/+bug/1255761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1255761] Re: Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker
Encountered this problem yesterday after upgrading under Saucy from KDE 4.11.2 to 4.11.3. Thinking it might be caused by misconfiguration I did some reseach wich cost me almost a day without fixing it .-( But I hope thus I can at least provide some useful addtional information :-) 1. After the update I first noticed that the spell checking in kmail was gone. I couldn't choose the language any more and spell checking doesn't work for preset German any more. Neither could I choose system language nor make any additional language or location settings in systemsettings. Furthermore I noticed that the little widget I use to switch my keyboard from German to English or Spanish doesn't show the flags anymore. And even though all application I set to use other languages than system language still use these, at least for menus, I couldn't change the language anymore. 2. Somehow language setting got totally messed up during the update. locale -a produces following output, which shows all the three languages I have installed: knut@knubuntu:~$ locale -a C C.UTF-8 de_AT.utf8 de_BE.utf8 de_CH.utf8 de_DE.utf8 de_LI.utf8 de_LU.utf8 en_AG en_AG.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_IN.utf8 en_NG en_NG.utf8 en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZMSin nombre en_ZM.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 es_AR.utf8 es_BO.utf8 es_CL.utf8 es_CO.utf8 es_CR.utf8 es_CU es_CU.utf8 es_DO.utf8 es_EC.utf8 es_ES.utf8 es_GT.utf8 es_HN.utf8 es_MX.utf8 es_NI.utf8 es_PA.utf8 es_PE.utf8 es_PR.utf8 es_PY.utf8 es_SV.utf8 es_US.utf8 es_UY.utf8 es_VE.utf8 POSIX But invoking just locale produces weird results: knut@knubuntu:~$ 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=es_C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=es:de:en_GB:en_US:en LC_CTYPE="es_C.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="es_C.UTF-8" LC_TIME="es_C.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="es_C.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="es_C.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="es_C.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="es_C.UTF-8" LC_NAME="es_C.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="es_C.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="es_C.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_C.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_C.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Please notice the weird locale es_C.UTF-8. After further investigation I encountered the file ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh with following contents: export LANG=es_C.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=es:de:en_GB:en_US:en Deleting it I at least got rid of "es_C.UTF-8". BTW, as a look into my backups revealed, above mentioned file didn't exist before the update. At least it did not exist a week before the update and meanwhile I did not make any changes to the localization. 3. Hoping this might fix the problem I shortly after the update to 4.11.3. updated to 4.12 from the backport ppa's. It did not help. I suppose the problem is caused by a bug in the package systemsettings which inspite of the update to 4.12 still is 4:4.11.3-0ubuntu01. At least I could not find any other kde related package responsible for language settings. language-selctor-kde, as proposed in a post I found, doesn't exist in the Saucy repositories. BTW, I installed language-selctor-gnome and could access all localization setting for gnome application without problem. Thus I suppose this is a kde related problem.

I have the same exact problem. Started with the upgrade to Kubuntu
13.10 (Saucy). I recently started running Kubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) in
/devel form and continue to have this problem. My Country/Region &
Language looks exactly like Steves screenshots posted on the Kubuntu
forums. I would also like to point out that I have no currency symbol
(blank and no choices).
