I am getting a sintax error when runn locale(1). Locale is set to en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gebn. At least it is uncommeted. Should I rerun the locale.-gen and see if that helps.
Hi Matthew, if I were you I would replace /etc/locale.gen by /etc/locale.gen.pacnew, uncomment the desired language/s, just in case also take a look at /etc/locale.conf and then run 'sudo locale-gen'. To get back 24 hour format (that's what I prefer over 12 hour format), I restarted my machine, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale#LC_TIME:_date_and_time_format . You might not necessarily need to restart the machine, but it doesn't harm. The output of 'localectl status' does not display the real status! However, running 'locale; echo $?; locale -a; echo $?' must not cause a syntax error, 'locale' must always return exit status '0' ;). Regards, Ralf
