Hi all,
Am trying to install BlueQuartz from the TAR-balls ...
BlueQuartz-5100R-CentOS4-i386-2006041001.tar.gz or
BlueQuartz-5100R-CentOS4-i386-2006091301.tar.gz
... onto a CentOS-4.4 install inside a virtual machine. I'm using OpenVZ for
that (compareable to VMware or Xen).
After some snafu's I got BQ to install just fine, but I have a really weird
problem that I'm unable to solve:
All GUI text doesn't show the English (or Japanese) lables or localization
text. Instead it gives the basic name of the lable instead.
During initial setup the pulldown menu for "locale" is empty, likewise it's
also empty in "Personal Profile" where one can set the admin password, choose
the language or switch the skin from TrueBlue to Merlot and back.
I double checked that I have a propper /etc/sysconfig/i18n and that the locale
of the OS is set as well:
[root@virtual-102 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG=en_US
LC_ALL=en_US
LINGUAS="en ja"
[root@virtual-102 ~]# locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
Still I can't get it to work and the GUI still runs without any localization.
I'm certain I overlooked something in the general OS configuration of my
CentOS install to get it to work, but whatever it is, it eludes me.
It doesn't appear to be a general problem with OpenVZ itself, as I was able to
migrate a stand alone CentOS+BlueQuartz v4.5 to OpenVZ, where it runs just
fine without GUI problems.
Anyone got any ideas how to connect the dots here and to get the GUI to
recognize the locale?
