Setting locale failed

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: R Pi 3 Model B
    • OS: openhabian 1.4.1

Hello,
I did a clean installation of openhabian 1.4.1.
After the first boot I want to set my locale to connect with the local wifi adapter of the pi to the network.
But setting the locale fails every time. Maybe you have an idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance, BR Sebastian

You can try to set it using raspi-config. If it isn’t installed you can install is with sudo apt-get install raspi-config. Then run it like openhabian-config and there is a menu for setting the locale.

Thank you very much! The configuraiton with raspi-config works. See here:

$ update-locale LANG=de_CH.UTF-8 LC_ALL=de_CH.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_CH.UTF

For me this is OK.
