I can't set locale in Solaris 8
Hi gentlemen.

I would change LANG=C to iso_8859_5.
I have tried some variante, but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Try using sys-unconfig

Maybe this characterset is not installed, check the directory /usr/lib/locale to see, what locales are installed.

sys-unconfig is a really bad advice, because it undos the system configuration and returns the system to factory default.

Yes, sys-unconfig is overkill to say the least.

What says:
Code:
locale -a

?

Code:
# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Check if
Code:
export LC_ALL=ru_RU.ISO8859-5

followed by launching the application you want to check from the same terminal suit your needs.

It does't work.

I have tried this variante:

File /etc/default/init
Code:
LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.ISO8859-5 
LC_MESSAGES=C 
LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.ISO8859-5
LC_TIME=ru_RU.ISO8859-5

It works, but it is wrong.
