Well that is suprising, since the contents you have on that file are |
| 9 |
totally wrong, locale.gen(5) manpage explicitly states the syntax for |
| 10 |
that file is: |
| 11 |
<locale> <charset> |
| 12 |
example: |
| 13 |
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
| 14 |
The man page also points you to the directories in /usr/share/i18n/ |
| 15 |
wich are locales/ and charmaps/ with the list of the ones available |
| 16 |
for Gentoo, and also a convenient file named 'SUPPORTED' which tells |
| 17 |
itself a list of what it has inside. |
| 18 |
Also a the file alredy in the /etc/locale.gen in the stage3, has some |
| 19 |
examples, since en_US.UTF-8 is the second example (and that's your |
| 20 |
locale) you just need to uncomment that and run locale-gen. |
| 21 |
Also LANG is an environment variable it has nothing to do in there. |
| 22 |
PD: the manpages have the best supported answers, look at it before |
| 23 |
going to random howtos online, its already at your installation |
| 24 |
anyway. |
