Could this be a corrupted file? (Feasible, as we did have a power cut.) I tried reinstalling glibc, but that didn't help.

localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8
# sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 # echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 # sudo localectl System Locale: LANG=en-GB.utf8 VC Keymap: dvorak X11 Layout: n/a
I tried a new login session too in a fresh VT, and the LANG environment variable is still en_US.UTF-8.

Maybe you have the lang set somewhere in your shell configfile. Have you tried with a new user?

You have to run
# locale-gen

Hmm; yeah, getting somewhere now. I haven't made any modifications to my shell config for a while, but I did find this (I use zprezto):
if [[ -z "LANG" ]]; then export LANG='en_US.UTF-8' fi
I've commented that out, and I get en_GB.UTF-8 now (which is odd in itself), but Tmux and Vim still render incorrectly: dividing lines are accented characters. The Linux built-in console renders some lines correctly, but some angled lines in Vim are rendered as blocks, so it doesn't seem to be a Konsole thing.
When I try to invoke "man", I get:
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct.
I don't have any LC_ variable set manually, but I didn't think I needed to...
Also:
# locale -a 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_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX en_GB en_GB.iso88591 en_GB.utf8
I've done:
# pacman -Qqkk | grep GB
...but that returns nothing.
Any more ideas?
Paul

Well, I meant after running
sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8
You didn't list that, so I thought you forgot it.

OK, I see. I can't see why that would be necessary, but in the interest of completeness I've re-run locale-gen, and I'm afraid there was no effect.

i think you may just have a typo. shouldn't it be "en_GB.UTF-8" instead of "en_GB.utf8"?
Top posting for good reasons. Something like this [1] simply should be marked as junk. To reply to such a mail IMO is a crime. [1] On Mon, 03 Nov 2014 07:37:02 -0600 AIS Information <info@andriesinfoserv.com> wrote:

To use plain text instead of mime for the digest, so that it becomes impossible to keep the thread is ok. It's also ok, if somebody forgot to edit the subject even while quoting.

We are humans, that's all ok, _but_ really, why is there the need to quote a compete digest?
