 web browsing).

It's normal, all langpacks are installed on the live-cd. But it's not
really designed to be updated as a liveusb.
I think the best solution is to remove all langpacks when you do a
liveusb, and only install the ones you want.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Language Packs

2011-07-21 Thread Phill Whiteside
Hi,

I know we've discussed this before, but for the life of me I cannot find the
solution / bug-fix / work around

Only problem with 11.04 liveusb is that it showed 300 updates available, and
 it looked like 200 of them were language packs. I was installing them all
 but eventually ran out of room on my 4gb usb stick. So now only updating
 chromium and flash (since main purpose is web browsing).


Nearest I could find was
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/766559 but I'm
sure that was not the problem :\
If someone would be kind enough to refresh my faulty memory :)

Regards,

Phill.

I'm not aware of previous discussion, maybe it was before my time :)

(This quote should have an attribution line, so we know who said it...)

As far as I know, the only way to get this kind of issue is to install
hundreds of language packs.  Very few people do that, most of us do not
speak *that* many languages!  There are many packs on the CD, but by
default we do not install all of them.

The output of

  dpkg-query -W language-pack-\?\?

might be interesting to know in working on this issue.

If I am correct, the workaround is to not install (or uninstall!) all
the language packs for languages you do not need :)

More generally, if you do a lot of updates in a low-disk-space
environment, doing

  sudo apt-get clean

can free up significant disk space.
