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.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
