Title: English version of Debian 11 needed
Last edited by pbeery In 8/9/2022 10:43 Editor

Hi guys, I need a version of Debian for the ROC-RK3588S-PC that boots up into English. I've found some here that boot into Chinese.  Does anyone know where I can get an English language version? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  https://en.t-firefly.com/doc/download/142.html
FYI - I received my board yesterday. Thank you!  It is beautiful. Smart design.

Title: Changing Debian from Chinese to English

Solution found
1) boot up in Chinese
2) open a command prompt (icon looks like a black dos window)
3) enter in the following set of commands:
3.1) sudo su
3.2) dpkg -reconfigure locales
4) a new window should pop up, scroll down to en_US.UTF-8 and select it (space bar, or enter key)
5) tab over to the bottom left most button and click it.
6) select en_US.UTF-8 from the list that pops up.
7) type reboot into the command window.

Your system will reboot and come up in English.

There is better solution. In mk-rootfs-buulseye.sh turn each occurence cn_zh (or something like this) to en_US and you can comment each string with Chinese locale settings. Moreover if you have not working DNS, you can add to chroot block string:
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
