I got 3 Neo2 - but only on 1 the setting for the language de_DE.UTF8 does work via armbian-config or dpkg-reconfigure locales

 

The one where it works does show after login

one of the non-working shows

and the other non-working one

the 2 non-working ones will work (using de_de.UTF8) if I add the following lines to ~/.bashrc of my users

export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8

 

but I dont know why the "non-working" ones dont get/set the language-setting like the working one
AND IP22 and IP23 do share the same armbian-image

IP24 has a new DEV-5.0.1/armbian 5.77-image
 

also another Language error

Try to ouput a number via printf - but when I try to use the "fix" then I do get a error:

LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8

root@npi-neo2-23(192.168.6.23):/home/guido# printf "%0.4f\n" $PERCENT
-bash: printf: 90.123456: invalid number
0,0000
 

I have to set LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8

then it works again (like before)

root@npi-neo2-23(192.168.6.23):/home/guido# export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" or LC_NUMERIC="C"
root@npi-neo2-23(192.168.6.23):/home/guido# printf "%3.4f\n" $PERCENT
90.1235
