plasma-discover: Setting a different language (locales) as default de_DE
Happy new 2023 Debian and openSUSE KDE teams,
This issue is about plasma-discover and locale/language settings and
hope this is not Debian-specific.
I fixed up my plasma-discover and it starts now, again on
Debian/unstable AMD64 with KDE/Plasma version 5.26.5 and fetches
updates.
Normally, I do not use plasma-discover for upgrading packages but it's
nice to have graphical frontend to check what is available.
All my swcatalog caches (Debian DEP-11 metadata) were updated via:
root# appstreamcli refresh --force
root# LC_ALL=en_EN LANG=en_EN appstreamcli refresh --force
Now I see:
root# LC_ALL=C ll /var/cache/swcatalog/cache/
total 21M
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jan 14 10:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Feb 25 2022 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3M Jan 14 03:25 de_DE-local-metainfo.xb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.7M Jan 14 10:59 de_DE-os-catalog.xb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 998K Jan 14 10:13 en_EN-local-metainfo.xb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M Jan 14 10:13 en_EN-os-catalog.xb
(Re)Moved all user's appstream + discover caches before:
user$ mv ~/.cache/appstream ~/.cache/appstream.old
user$ mv ~/.cache/discover ~/.cache/discover.old
Renewed APT packages repository via:
root# apt-get update
As you can see I have both de_DE and en_EN swcatalogs.
If I run from Start > Apps > Discover or from konsole...
user$ plasma-discover
...I always have de_DE software-catalogs visible.
With en_EN locales...
user$ LC_ALL=en_EN LANG=en_EN plasma-discover
...works fine.
Is there a place where I can set locales/language for plasma-discover?
I found:
$ cat ~/.config/discoverrc
[Window]
geometry=0,0,1366,695
visibility=4
Cannot say if this is the correct config file as I have something like
discover (hardware-info) tool also installed.
$ man discover
discover(1) General Commands Manual discover(1)
NAME
discover — hardware detection utility
Thanks for any hints.
Best regards,
