March 15, 20251 yr I read about Debian/Ubuntu, that — as the Armbian — in general have all sorts of UTF-8 locales installed by default, it is possible to generate ISO8859-2 locales anyway by using a 'locale-gen' tool (found such suggestion here ). But there isn't locale-gen in Armbian, it seems (Armbian v25.2.2). Can it be installed from some repo, or maybe it's possible to generate ISO8859-2 locales some alternative way? If so — how do i do that? Edited March 15, 20251 yr by Bugger typo
March 16, 20251 yr Solution Could you check if CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_2 is enabled in your kernel config? The package is locales I think. That it is not installed tells me you are most likely using a Minimal/IoT image which comes with the absolute bare minimum to have a working system. Designed for advanced users knowing how to install such tools afterwards if needed.
March 16, 20251 yr Author In config-6.6.75-current-sunxi file there I can see CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_2=m Indeed it was 'locales' package that was missing. Thanks! Edited March 16, 20251 yr by Bugger solved
March 17, 20251 yr next time you are looking for a particular command or file, try apt-file search locale-gen. very useful.
