[opensuse-gnome] 12.1 Menu Language half Greek/half English
Hello, I installed 12.1 Gnome LiveCD. During installation I choose Greek language and keyboard. It finished and I see menu in English and only few in Greek. I tried to change the language using YaST but it said something like: Some menus are in English and you won't have all in Greek. Only DVD installation has all languages I guess. Well, I did something and I fixed it but not sure if it was the correct thing to do. I wrote zypper dup I upgrade my 12.1 system to 12.1 ;-) After restart, all menus were in Greek. Is there something wrong with the localization YaST module? Have a lot of run!!!

Something went wrong.. oO My text disappeared. @ Stathis: Thanks for reporting. In the KDE Live CD is a similar problem which I could only resolve by running "zypper dup" as well. Perhaps that's a general problem with the Live CDs?

The "live cd"s do not have enough space for *many* different languages. Duscussion exists about dropping the cd's for larger iso's for install on flash memory drives that contain *more* language files. These iso's will not ever contain *all* the possible languages. ... and even the "english" is sometimes somewhat disconcerting :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Perhaps the Live CDs should run this command on first boot or there should be something fixed that the required packages for the language will be installed as regular updates.
I mean, they weren't even provided by running "zypper up". And set English and back again didn't work either, so what do you want an unexperienced user to do to fix this? Do they really have to work with half Englisch / half native language systems? Then it's probably better to drop the Live CDs at all. I know a lot of people who can't speak English and they probably will never be able to do.

Just guessing (from previous experience) but would say that the required packages do not exist in the configured repositories. "zypper up" by definition will not upgrade packages from other than the repository where the present package exists, "zypper dup" installs the *newest* package from the configured repositories w/o deference to its *home* repo. but I *am* guessing. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

The 12.1 installation I did, I tried to change language using YaST but I failed. When I open system settings, I go to Localization, it shows that I have installed British English, US English, Chinese (?) and Greek. Greek is default. When I try to delete British and Chinese, I cannot. There's not a button to unlock as admin to do it. I asked KDE friends about the language and they told me that they had the same problem and solved it using zypper dup. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
