Chromebook Crouton Debian xfce4 - Cannot change locale!
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
On the system described in the title, I am trying to change my locale to a UTF-8 one, in order to run the program Anki. However it won't let me, the commands locale-reconfigure locale-gen and any locale-xxx/xxx-locale command doesn't exist.
There was no locale.gen so I created one, it looks like this:
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8"
When I type in locale it says everything is POSIX except LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ALL which are all left blank.
locale -a returns:
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
I've followed the guide on debian wiki and many other guides, all of which involve the use of locale-gen or a similar command which I don't have. I've also tried restarting with the new locale.gen, but that also didn't work.

You should use the command update-locale, and probably install a language package.
This link has detailed step by step instructions to set the locale in Crouton.

Yes, I've seen this, it doesn't work, the command update-locale doesn't exist.

I think that you have to download a language package and to satisfy its dependencies apt will install the package that contains the locale utilities, package locales en Debian mainstream.

Aug 26 '14 at 17:44
Hmmm, the language packages cannot be found... Gosh this is a pain.
– Jamal
Aug 26 '14 at 17:52
The command to try should be like "sudo apt-get install language-pack-en"...

Yeah, that's what I did, it says unable to locate package language-pack-en
