I’m having trouble with Locale Settings in the Manjaro Settings Manager. That is: I see it completely empty:
However the system seems properly configured. This is the output of localectl
:
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8
VC Keymap: it2
X11 Layout: it
X11 Model: pc105
This is the output of locale -a
:
C
en_US.utf8
fr_FR.utf8
it_IT.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
Any ideas?

Done:
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
fr_FR.UTF-8... done
it_IT.UTF-8... done
ru_RU.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Content of /etc/locale.conf
:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8
Same as before: empty options.
maybe reboot and check again

Go to the KDE System Settings
Type loca
Click Locale
What does this show? (example from my system below)
If also empty, what are your regional settings?

Same thing. KDE locale settings are also empty.
Regional settings:

Can you do me a favour and add an additional language in KDE’s language section? ( or will do)
(not promising anything, just trying to have KDE regenerate its own settings as manjaro-settings just takes its info from the DE).

Done that. As you can see it even switches language correctly, however locale settings are empty as before.

I think I discovered something. I searched the log and found these messages.
This is what happens when I try to open the Locale Settings in Manjaro Settings Manager:
05.10.2020 14:35:28:613 manjaro-settings-manager error: failed to open '/etc/locale.gen'
This is what happens when I try to open the locale settings in KDE:
05.10.2020 14:39:35:373 systemsettings5 error: failed to open '/etc/locale.gen'
These are the permission of /etc/locale.gen/
:
-rw------- 1 root root 10047 28 ago 14.05 /etc/locale.gen
It’s inaccessible to anyone except root. I think that’s the cause of the problems I’m having. Could you provide the correct permission settings?

Apparently sudo chmod 644 /etc/locale.gen
solved the problem… It makes me wonder which other files got screwed up (maybe by a botched update?).
