How to get the arrow style bash prompt after installing powerline?
I have fixed it by reconfiguring my locale.
I ran locale
and it gave me this:
$ locale
LANG=en_IN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_IN:en
LC_CTYPE="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_IN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
So I tried to set the following in .bashrc, but it didn't work:
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
So I ran the following and restarted the PC(Logging out wasn't enough):
sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
In the first configuration menu, I have deselected the en_IN...
using spacebar and in next menu, I have selected en_US.UTF-8
. After this locale
showed all en_US.
Instead of all this, probably just setting LANUAGE
and LANG
to en_US in /etc/default/locale could have been enough? Idk
