Hi,
microwatt R9 just installed.
Say I wish to set wanted locales on microwatt and get rid of the unneeded.
Precisely I'd like to set the locales to fr_FR for the interface, TIME or units settings, and en_US for logs and system-related stuff.

~$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=fr:en
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8Also:
~$ cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
On Arch it's quickly done with:
~# $EDITOR /etc/locale.gen         # uncomment en_US.UTF-8 and fr_FR.UTF-8
~# locale-gen
Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8.         # two and that's it
On Debian (Wheezy) I do the same as in Arch, or
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales      # choose  en_US.UTF-8 and fr_FR.UTF-8that generates en_US.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8 and that's it. Upon each updates, only these two will be generated when needed.

On microwatt (Ubuntu family?) there's no /etc/locale.gen. Also `dpkg-reconfigure locales` does not let me choose the locale (as in R8). Just generates over a dozen unneeded locales.
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...

  SNIPWondering how/where to set the system locales on (micro)watt OS?

Hi watters!
I'd like to test watos r9 or r10 Beta on a little laptop that already has two distros running.
Microwatt is installed but not rebooted yet until I figure out q nice way to boot it from existing boot setup.

Partition setup:
sda1 = /boot, 500 MB
vg1_lv1 (lvm) = Arch
vg1_lv2 (lvm) = Arch test
vg1_lv3 (lvm) = Peppermint (Ubuntu based)
vg1_lv4 (lvm) = microwatt R9

Bootloader setup:
MBR = syslinux
sda1 = syslinux + various Arch kernels + grub2 chainloaded from syslinux (loads Peppermint on vg1_lv3). Partition has ~100 MB free.

What would be the choices to load Microwatt?
1. Add microwatt entries to sda1 grub.cfg and load the OS kernel images from vg1_lv4/boot
2. Mount sda1 as /boot in microwatt and run grub-install: to put the kernel images on sda1. Then how to make sure it does not overwrite the MBR?
3. Some other way I don't see?

Thanks in advance for sharing your opinion.

Also Lubuntu doesn't ship an i3 desktop ready to use, and that one is lightning fast! And the former has gotten quite fatter somewhere between 12.10 and 14.04 (official requirements honestly reflect that, forget to lighten the cause behind though).

+1 I also like to learn on that topic.

Salutations to you watters from a long time Linux user.

I may try WattOS r9 microwatt on a Atom powered netbook I got. Would like to see how battery life compare with the installed and also minimal Arch i3. after some bang-for-watt optimization the later is giving the same autonomy it had back six years ago.
Only launched in qemu whattOS shows pretty interesting speed and NRJ figures out of powertop
I'll probably replace Midori with Xombrero browser which I find both more efficient, tweakable and fun.

About OS general real life speed, I recently got antiX installed on a old Mama's PC. According to all who tested it makes her AMD 3000 machine just back on Main St.! I might test wattOS on this side as well, time permitting.

If you guys have any advice that you think might be interesting for a brand newcomer, I'm all ear!
