Hi,
I'm looking for a way to add a new locale/language to system from
gnome
(think about gnome on mobile like Purism Librem 5 or Pine Phone). I
can do
that from a terminal by running dpkg-reconfigure locales but want
to provide
an easier option to users. Is there a way to force gtk interface of
debconf
and launch it from graphical interface? In Ubuntu, there is
separate add
language tool which can add new languages.
The debconf(7) manual page suggests that setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome
after installing the libgtk3-perl package ought to work, and it seems
to
work for me:
sudo env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome dpkg-reconfigure locales
...brings up a GTK+ interface.
Thanks! I need to run xhost + to be able to launch this. Is there
another way to lauch this graphically without having to run xhost +.
May be something using policykit?
I remember there used to be a gksu or gksudo but can't find this now
apt-file find bin/gksu
apt-file find bin/gksudo
pkexec env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure locales
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(dpkg-reconfigure:159177): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:28:06.343: cannot open
display:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (DISPLAY problem?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
G'luck,
Peter
