Ubuntu :: Terminal Is Stuck In A Foreign Language?
Feb 16, 2011
Some time back I posted a question about using a Greek keyboard since I'm trying to improve my limited Greek. Someone suggested a way of switching between the English and Greek desktop for Ubuntu. I tried that but it didn't work so well so I removed it. But I just tried to use the Terminal to install something and it's all in Greek!!! Now while I can read some of it my skills are not that good and I need it back in English again... Quickly actually! How do I go about removing the Greek from my terminal? Everything else on my system is in English so I can't figure why the terminal is stuck there.

I only want spellchecking, calendar and currency to be typical for Poland (this is where I currently live), Ubuntu itself (interface, applications, manuals) should be in English - I don't understand Polish well enough.In 9.10 I used to check Polish spellchecking (translations were checked for install automatically but you couldn't tell unless you chose another language and then Polish again) and uncheck the translations. It allowed for setting locale (calendar/currency) to Polish and also keep the spellchecking. Now it's buggy: I can do a fresh install of Ubuntu but can't set Polish spellchecking, calendar (it starts from Monday), currency (it's PLN/zł) and keep the system itself in English. What I do wrong?
1. Fresh install
2. System -> Administration -> Language Support
3. Language -> Install / Remove Languages
4. Find Polish and select ONLY: Spellchecking and writing aids
5. Text -> Display numbers, dates and currency amounts in: Polish
Confirm, reboot and... Bump! I've got Polish translations in several places, e.g.:If I upgrade any software, it is in Polish. Firefox (or Namoroka) locale changes to "pl,en" and its plug-ins are in Polish by default.
After I uninstall Polish translations (and leave spellchecking and writing aids as it was) there's a problem with locale (Polish locale is removed along with translations), besides, system doesn't actually change back to English and newly installed applications either crash with errors or install in Polish.

In Windows Word there are combination key strokes to get language accents inserted in the text. How do you get the same thing in Office? I am trying to use foreign phrases in an English document.

I have this cool bash script that I worked hard on. But it broke down when it can across files that had non-English characters. Another small problem was getting it to descend into a directory. If it renamed a directory it would not descend into that dir to rename the other files. I would have to run the script twice on the same directory.
Here is the script:
Code:
find -type d -o -regextype egrep -iregex '(.*.ogg|.*.mp3|.*.wav)' | while read s
do
rename -v 'y/A-Z/a-z/' "$s"
done
find -type d -o -regextype egrep -iregex '(.*.ogg|.*.mp3|.*.wav)' | while read n
do
rename -v 's/ /_/g' "$n"
done
A French name like this:
Code:
Chateau De Sable (imagine accents above the letter a)
became this:
Code:
ch303242tea_de_sable
This is not what I wanted.
Why would the script not descend into a directory after it was renamed?

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on our laptop. for convenience I also installed the dutch (gnome) translation and selected Dutch as the default language so all menu's and localisation is suitable for the Netherlands and the misses understands stuff. However I noticed that the gnome terminal is also translated so all output from bash is now in Dutch too. This is really inconvenient since I have been using bash in english on fedora and ubuntu for 10 years now. So is there a way to reconfigure gnome term (bash) to default back to english and leave the GUI in Dutch?

I having Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx at Dell laptop. i want to read documents written in hindi language. I have a font called Mangla installed in open-office that helps to read these files. But if I open them in gedit or display them by using following command, I cannot open them in readable format:- cat Hindi.txt
[Output] ....
I want this file should also be readable to a executable file of (CMU's toolkit). I have installed several types of fonts such as lohit_hi.ttf. The system does seem to be recognizing this language.

Terminal, I type ruby, I hit enter, and nothing happens. I'm given a blank line that I can type and enter, and again, nothing happens. I'm stuck, is there a way to fix this without closing the terminal window?

I started my computer up in ubuntu today and got an error while it was running through a system check. It said "Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /". I pressed F to fix it and a while later, instead of booting like it normally would, it went to the terminal.
It asked for me to login, and when I did, it said:
/usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available: 52: cannot create /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available: Directory nonexistent
[code]....

been running PCLinuxOS for a while and thought I'd check out Ubuntu, I LOVE IT! Only one problem. I recently installed it and after getting the entire thing loaded and setup I messed up on a sound driver. Went to the LOGIN SCREEN settings and selected RECOVERY like a DOPE! Now I'm stuck in a bootup login screen that always goes to a small white terminal in the upper left corner! I've tried EVERYTHING from the forums to get back to booting into the GUIo luck! Is there a way to reset the LOGIN SCREEN to boot to Ubuntu GUI from the terminal? I really don't want to reinstall and reconfigure this whole thing again

I have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?

One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?

While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.

i recently got a french msi wind U100x running on linux suse enterprise 10 sp1. (i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?

So I opened a terminal and fired up netcat.I only wanted to view the Foreign Ip Addresses so I used
Code:
netstat --tcp --numeric | cut -c 45-65
and that gave me[code]...
There are two things that I am trying to accomplish here. The first is that I would like to "cut" the first three horizontal lines so that the output is only ip addresses.I tried tail but the number of different IPs changes so it still gives me those top lines. I tried head but that doesn't seem to give me any output at all.The second thing I would like to do is to filter out duplicate values. For example the output above has 2 duplicate entries of 66.102.7.101:80

when I'm trying to add a virtual host with a foreign character in the domain name. The foreign character is .
I've read earlier threads where it was said I should puny code it, which then translates to xn--nda
I then created a virtual host, as shown (replaced the real domain with exampl�:
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin me@exampl�.com
ServerName exampl�.com
[Code]....
However, apache2 doesn't recognize this when I try to enter the domain, it just shows my 000default.

I want to setup my MySQL database and have MySQL up and running. I sill look for a good editor to add and configure my tables, it appears that MySQL Administrator is the only GUI client available.
But when I try to add a foreign key to one of my tables, there appears to be a problem. Both of my tables are InnoDB and both have a primary key.
-First I choose the tab "Foreign Keys" on my CLIENT table.
-Then I press the green + sign to add a foreign key, it is default named new_fk_constraint.
-I choose my table USER in the Refer.Table dropdownbox
-And then I should be able to match the FK field and the PK field in the box on the right... but this box is empty. Double clicking shows nothing. I only can drag the user_id of the USER table to it, but have no option to select the foreign column.
What the hell is wrong here??? This client is years old and should be really REALLY working IMHO! I was told by a friend that there is no good client available and therefore he is using some Windows program for this...

In this case its the french accented e that is getting translated:[test]$ touch dd touch: cannot touch `351dd': No such file or directory the thing is the folder test is an smb mount. The windows server which is dropping files into it is able to make the file visible but the app running on the linux can't fetch it because the name is 'unexpected'if I create a file anywhere else e.g. in /tmp/ with the name response.txt it is fine. When I ls I see r?sponse.Can you advise me if I should be looking at the smb config AND the host config and give me some pointers as to where to get started trying to solve this.

I am running a spam filter on debian lenny 5.1 with postfix, amavis-new, spamassassin, and clamav. It works pretty well but I would like to finish tweaking it to minimize the mail getting quarantined. It really isn't quarantining anything that isn't spam, except for an occasional list mailer. However, the quarantine is huge, and takes a while to go through. I noticed that much of the spam is coming from foreign country tld's like .cz is there anyway to have postfix run a check on the header and if the email, or smtp origination is from a server from a foreign tld have it just rejected. I can whitelist anything if need be in the future but as of now we don't do any business overseas and don't need to worry about blocking legit email.
I think this should be possible, however, I am unsure of the syntax for the file, where to put it and if wildcards are possible in domain blocking like
Code:
*.cz REJECT

At work they gave me the following task (and i need some help from you guys!):At work we have a normal PC running Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit), which works good.We also have a LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini v2, which runs embedded Linux (RedHat), but is so trimmed down, you can't use the disk we would like to use it.The task is this: On the X86 machine, make a bootable image for the ARM architecture and write it to a harddisk (which fits the LaCie offc.) so it can boot off it.Now i have done some investigation, but don't know how to combine it all:
- I can use debootstrap to create a minimal Debian system, but there comes the problem, you can't chroot into a foreign created system (i.e. X86 cannot chroot into ARM system).
- I can use QEMU, which can emulate a ARM processor, but can i use the image that QEMU uses as a normal image for a harddisk, so it would boot off it (when using dd to write it to a real harddisk)?
- Current kernels support the LaCie hardware (Marvell chipset)
- I know how to use tools such as dd, so if the image is generated i can write it to disk and have the LaCie boot from it.
The LaCie box has the following: 1 ARM9 ARMv5TEJ (266 MHz) CPU with 64 Mb RAM, Gigabit network controller and 1 usb host port, internal there is a sata port obviously.The only thing i want at the moment is to have the LaCie boot Debian and i can SSH into it, from there the rest is easy as pie.Is someone willing to help me accomplish this task? It would seriously mean and help alot!If all goes well and if i get all things up and running i would like to make a Howto of it and place that here, maybe it will be of some use !
