When going to terminal and launching:

Code: Select all

sudo -E /usr/sbin/minstall

I get this:

Code: Select all

sudo: sorry, you are not allowed to preserve the environment

What should I do to install it? Thanks.

UPDATE: a simple

Code: Select all

sudo minstall

did it.

Glad you were able to find solution...{installer icon can be found by clicking on desktop folder in dolphin file manager when running the live cd}

I have a problem with changing Plasma's language. Only American English is available. I tried to install one of those kde-l10n packages but it didn't work. Please, help.

Please go into detail on how you're changing the language from American English to whatever you're aiming for.

You must click on the "add language" button at the bottom right of the language settings page. And move the added language to the top position to make it default.

The problem is that there are no languages aside from American English.

After installing the correct language pack, I could select my language (Swedish) with the "add language" button. And delete the American English alternative.
Did this only a few days ago on the 19.1 AHS version.

Unfortunately to make the iso smaller i had to delete the other languages using "localepurge" and manually removed the contents in /usr/share/locale thats why you cant seem to add other languages ....try adding back the localization package for your country using the twoletter (of your country) example for swedish language would be
"sudo apt-get install kde-l10n-sv"
to generate and set the new locale to system default run as root this command

dpkg-reconfigure locales

I installed kde-l10n-ru, ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales," clicked "next" two times, rebooted and it doesn't work. I checked that the selected default locale was correct. What am I doing wrong?

Assuming you setting the russian language
open root terminal and type
# export LANG=ru_RU.utf-8
confirm whether default locale settings /etc/defaul/locale contains this line

LANG="ru_RU.utf-8"

ADDITIONALLY you might need to add these line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile files, in your home folder to change permanently the locale of the current user to:ru_RU.utf-8

export LANG=ru_RU.utf-8

reboot

So I tried doing the first command as a normal user, with sudo and as root. Checked the locales file. The line was there. Added the line to ~/.profile and rebooted. Didn't work.
