Any idea why the konsole prints this after each given command:

Code: Select all

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

Could that have something to do with corrupted stuff on the disk?
My old disk started showing symptoms of dying, so I got a new disk and ddrescued the old disk into the new one raw.
(using the newest TRK 3.4 beta - older didn't work with my HW)
If, then how do I fix it?

Also, if I select English as the language, how do I select Finland as the country?
I'm a Finn alright, but I rather use English with computers due to much more settled terminology.

[edit - ignore the following line. I left it there so that the next comments make sense.]
(Also, how do I control the disk power? There doesn't seem to be hdparm available.)

As a general hint and golden rule: Please only one problem per thread

Yes. But this is just one line sidepath, but related . I wouldn't like to have these problems again.
The line was also in parenthesis as "if someone happens to know"
Maybe I'll make another thread about it,

please have a look to this thread:

After language selection, in the next screen, I don't see any "other countries"-button - and no such selection either.
(My system is installed, but something may have been corrupted due to a disk problem),

Ah, the "advanced" changes to "other countries" if you wait.
But Finland is not found there, and I can't select other languages (but between the "dialects" of English) either.

Please install locales-fi and then try again, Finland will show up in the first dialog.

Thanks. That fixed it.
The locale-whinings were really irritating.
