GRUB locale problem

XerXes · 13 June 2021 07:57

Hi dear community,

I have this really stupid question;

after applying new configs from Garuda Assistant, I've got new updated Dr4gon1z3d KDE theme (which is what I've wanted to achieve), however, after restart, I'm now getting following error in grub:

error: file '/@boot/grub/locale/cs.gmo' not found.

This looks like it wants to load a Czech language, which I've never wanted, I'm using Garuda in English and only have the Czech formats (currency, time, etc.) GRUB after a while shows normally, and boots without a problem. Is there any way to solve this and stop GRUB from loading the locale I don't need to load?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Seems old bug returns??
But I am not a programmer, have a little patience, please.

XerXes · 13 June 2021 08:15

Of course, as I've mentioned in my first post, it's not really an issue that is breaking the system, I'm just curious why this happens and how to fix it.

Post terminal output of

Try specifying LANG=en at update-grub command

sudo LANG=en update-grub
# or
sudo LC_MESSAGES=en update-grub

What about running grub with English language?
Test if this workaround works, so we know if we need to worry or it's a PEBCAK.

XerXes · 19 June 2021 11:09

Sorry for the late reply, had lots of work to do.

The workaround you posted has worked. Thanks!
