I need some help
« on: January 23, 2025, 06:07:07 AM »
Hi ! I need some help in Tiny Core Plus x86 localization and keyboard layout switching. 

1. Locale Configuration

How have I to configure a Russian Locale ? I installed "getlocale.tcz", ran it and chose ru.RU_UTF-8 , rebooted the system and tried adding in kernel boot parameters a bootcode "lang=ru" or "lang=ru_RU.UTF-8" , but nothing happened .

Code: (My boot parameters (cat /proc/cmdline)) [Select]
loglevel=3 tce=sda2 home=sda2 opt=sda2 lang=ru vga=789 cde showapps desktop=jwm initrd=/boot/core.gz BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz
Code: ("locale" command shows : ) [Select]
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale : No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_CMESSAGES to default locale : No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale : No such file or directory
LANG=ru
LC_CTYPE="ru"
LC_NUMERIC="ru"
LC_TIME="ru"
LC_COLLATE="ru"
LC_MONETARY="ru"
LC_MESSAGES="ru"
LC_PAPER="ru"
LC_NAME="ru"
LC_ADDRESS="ru"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru"
LC_ALL=

2. Display Cyrillic fonts

What have I to do to display cyrillic fonts ? I fail to display them both in TTY, and X11.

3. Keyboard Layout Configuration

How can I switch keyboard layouts ? I installed kmaps.tcz , rebooted the system, added a bootcode "kmap=us,ru" but the keyboard layout still remains only in English ( at least, I failed to switch to Russian with Ctrl+Shift, Alt+Shift, etc.)
