I just did an update on it, running stretch, 70 files updated, and now the locale is trashed. Running xfce for an x11 gui, and the desktop clock/calendar, while using an EN_US-UTF8 font, is not in english, making orage a bit useless. Ideas how to fix it when there apparently is not an update.lo

So, you can't just bring up raspi-config? It's just a script anyway. The locale section: do_change_locale() { if [ "$INTERACTIVE" = True ]; then dpkg-reconfigure locales else local LOCALE="$1" if ! LOCALE_LINE="$(grep "^$LOCALE " /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED)"; then return 1

Well yes, all of that's true, but would raspberrypi.org mind if Debian borrowed a copy of their scripts? I'm not a lawyer but I doubt it. Meanwhile the Pi has a userbase of millions. OpenBSD didn't even have locale at all last I knew, it's not that essential. raspi-config isn't 3b specific, it w

I use the alias mc='mc -ad' in my bashrc to turn off the box-drawing chars that don't work and disable mouse support, which makes the mouse work for copying and pasting, at least in an rxvt window. If this is all about lack of locale in update of the rock stuff have you tried making a tarball of t

Can't you mount something to multiple mount points? In other words just ignore the automount and mount it where you want it in parallel? One automount culprit on a Pi anyway is the GUI file manager. In Preferences -> Volume Management there are 3 checkboxes related to automount. Another could b

I've had a 32 GB and a 128 GB fail. Piclone is very useful, you can back up a 128 in half an hour or so, only copies files, not empty space. It uses cp as its active ingredient. High Endurance SD cards made for video surveillance may be an improvement, too soon to know. On Apr 23, 2018 1:58 AM, "G

I think this is the original/official one: https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/piclone Somebody's forked it at least once: https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone Class 10 is speed. High Endurance is meant to survive many write cycles. You can void the warranty on some if you use them in a dashcam.

If you say so. I've got about 95% Sandisk AKA Western Digital. If you do the warranty paperwork they'll replace them. Just be evasive about what you're using them for, tell them a phone or camera or something. One of mine had 10 years warranty, the other was lifetime. On 4/23/18, Gene Heskett
