Jessie. Vanilla. Console cyrillic. Console keyboard.

Hello!
Please help!

How I can include Cyrillics (Russian) in consoles?
I need keyboard layout pattern and the console on Cyrillics.

apt-get install console-setup keyboard-configuration console-cyrillic
dpkg-reconfigure locales

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
dpkg-reconfigure console-cyrillic
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

It doesn't help.
Problem with console-cyrillic.

Such package is absent.

I don't think you need any extra packages like console-cyrillic (but it may depend on OS release).

 

dpkg-reconfigure locales

ru_RU.UTF8 should be selected and generated later

 

dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Encoding to use on the console: UTF8

Character set to support: Guess optimal character set

Font for the console: Terminus (should be present by default and supports Cyrillic characters)

 

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Keyboard layout: Russian

Thanks for your reply.

Switching the keyboard layout is works.

I`m happy.

 

But in the late there was a warning:

update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults

 

And!!!

Midnight Commander and the Console does not have a Russian interface.

The console interface and all the inscriptions (questions, tips, dialogues) have remained English.

 

How can this be changed?
I need a Russian language console.

Check output of command "locale". If it doesn't show something like this

➜  ~  % locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

you will need to edit "/etc/default/locale" to look like this:

LANGUAGE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

this should be done automatically by "dpkg-reconfigure locales", but manual changes should work too.

I check output of command "locale":

 

LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=POSIX
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

 

less /etc/default/locale:

 

# File generated by update-locale
LC_MESSAGES=POSIX
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

 

What can I do now?

delete LC_MESSAGES=POSIX from /etc/default/locale

It can help me?

[zador.blood.stained]

Yes, delete or comment out LC_MESSAGES line.

I have deleted LC_MESSAGES=POSIX from /etc/default/locale

and

dpkg-reconfigure locales

 

Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8... done
ru_RU.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Warning: LANGUAGE (en_US.UTF-8) is not compatible with LANG (ru_RU.UTF-8). Disabling it.

 

After these steps:

less /etc/default/locale

 

# File generated by update-locale
#LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

 

reboot

and ....

 

WOW!!!

It is a miracle !!!

 

Console Russified.
Russian language is now in the console, and when you change the keyboard layout.

 

Thank you with all my heart!
King Regards.
