Odd bug, as I have two different rpi 3s running just fine with 'en' as the value. This makes me wonder … can any of you paste the contents of your ‘/usr/share/X11/locale/’ folder?

$ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/

Hey Everyone,
I was have the same issue. Change from ‘en’ to ’ ’ now it works.
@KirAsh4 this is my “locale” folder.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo ls -aF /usr/share/X11/locale/

Thanks.

KirAsh4

And in the EN_US.UTF-8 folder? Is there stuff in there?

smithdsl

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8 $ ls -aF
./ …/ Compose XI18N_OBJS XLC_LOCALE
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8 $

Yeah that’s odd, it’s the same on mine, so you do have en_US locale installed on the rpi. But why is MM² failing for you, when it’s working fine for me, that’s a bit of a mystery. If you don’t mind, just for grins, would you care to run through only Step 2 in this post: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/4, specifically the Internationalization part.

This is a real strange situation. I tried it with different language setting, but none of them seem to cause an issue. (Even when using language: 'foobar', it just works fine.) Could one of you who is experiencing the bug, look in the developer’s console for any error messages?

@MichMich I think this has something to do with electron? Because everything runs fine on server only.

MichMich

I can’t really see how that’s affected. It’s just a variable that will be used to select the right file. I really need a log from the console to figure out what’s wrong.

smithdsl

@MichMich How do I dump the log file?

MichMich

It’s not the node log. It’s the console log you can see in the developers tools. A screenshot (with the red error messages) is enough.
