locale in KDE

[waternumbers]

Hi

Liking the KDE version of SpiralLinux but...

Installing from the live media I select settings for the UK: en-gb language, keyboard layout and London time zone.
On installation only the time zone is correct, keyboard and language are set to en-us.
Also the en-gb language packs for firefox, hunspell and libreoffice are not installed (a wireless connection was available in the live session)

Given the language support link on desktop is this a bug or expected behaviour?

If it is expected behaviour it is easy to install the language packs and alter the system settings for one user - but what is the best way of altering the settings for multiple users?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul, thanks for reporting the issue.

It looks like I included a few mistaken config files in the default Plasma configuration. I'll try to get that fixed in the next release.

Fortunately it's easy to just change the language as follows:

Or, you can delete the following config files for all users and then logout/login:

• ~/.config/kxkbrc
• ~/.config/plasma-localerc
• ~/.config/KDE/Sonnet.conf
• (You can also delete those same filenames from /etc/skel/.config/ to prevent it from applying those files to newly created user accounts.)

Also the en-gb language packs for firefox, hunspell and libreoffice are not installed

This is the expected behavior, Calamares doesn't download language packs. Please use the Language support utility to install additional language packs via Synaptic.

Thanks again for the report!

Thanks geckolinux, your answer above works.

I also needed to remove ~/.config/KDE/Sonnet.conf (or /etc/skel/.config/KDE/Sonnet.conf for new user accounts) to get en-GB spell checking set as the default

Excellent, thanks for confirming that.
