I did this:



sudo apt-get install task-chinese-s-desktop


to get a Mandarin Chinese desktop environment (I'm learning the language). But I found it so irritating that I did



sudo apt-get remove task-chinese-s-desktop


again. I found that even after removing this, its output is in Chinese still:



$ sudo apt-get autoremove
正在读取软件包列表... 完成
正在分析软件包的依赖关系树 
正在读取状态信息... 完成 
升级了 0 个软件包，新安装了 0 个软件包，要卸载 0 个软件包，有 8 个软件包未被升级。


Why is this happening? What determines what language this program is in? If it matters, I'm on Linux Mint.



In case this provides anyone with a clue: I upgraded the initramfs (unrelated to this issue, I just have a habit of making sure my packages are up-to-date). I got this warning:



update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-21-generic
Warning: No support for locale: zh_CN.utf8


It's not $LANG:



$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8



debian locale

  • Look in /etc/default/locale to see if it has changed your locale.

  • @arochester That did the trick. It had zh_CN all over which I changed to en_GB. Question is then, why did I spot that when I did echo $LANG? Anyway, if you post that as an answer I will happily accept it.

  • typing locale gives all environment variables related to language. Notice there are also LANGUAGE and LC_ALL.

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
