On Debian/Ubuntu, "dpkg-reconfigure locales" is a light wrapper around localgegen (I think, I am currently on Fedora...). On Mandriva, you can install each one of those locales by an rpm instead of generating them on your machine. If you want to change the locale of your system, this is a mandatory step.

These default to the locale if not set. LC_ALL= Dangerous. If this is set, it overrides everything else. Personally, I think setting LANG to he_IL.UTF-8, and then set LC_MESSAGES to en_US to make the interface language remain in English. And if you want it set globally, /etc/default/locale is still a better place to put these lines.

Re: OT: Digital TV decoder USB sticks
Hi, Thanks for the input. Just wanted to update that although the dongle supposed to be working, it fails to find any channels: - drivers are loaded when its pushed into the USB socket. devices are appearing under /dev/dvb (IIRC) (tried also chmoding them to 777). - kaffeine appears to communicate with the dongle ok and when combing the frequency scale I do see some high signals along the scan (tried to use "auto" area mode, NZ, and several IL suggested configurations as well). - vlc method described in this thread is not showing any video as well. - Under Windows, the dongle works ok - finds the Israeli channels with no hassle (well, after buying the connecting an amplified antenna. Kudos to the experts in our ministry of communications for the lame launch of DTT broadcasts [or in other words - what is a trial/testing period for?])). So, while I remain optimistic about the prospect interoperability of the Apex 328 dongle with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04), I wasn't successful in making them sing together. Any pointers, tips, etc would be appreciated. Thanks, Boaz. geoffrey mendelson wrote: On Sep 17, 2009, at 10:43 PM, Boaz Rymland wrote: Hi, I bought this toy today. I'm glad to say that it worked out of the box in Ubuntu 9.04 - or at least it appears so: Kaffeine is happy with it, I do have /dev/dvb/ devices and dmesg seems to report that the drivers are ok. I bet the following kernel drivers are related: dvb_usb_af9015, af9013, dvb_usb. Scanning for channels works as well but that's where the party ends - at least where I live (in Petach Tikva) I get zero channels reception. I switched to Windows, installed the little thingy + its software and verified that indeed its a matter of reception - no channels on Windows too :-( . If you need more info let me know.
