temporarily live in New York when install Ubuntu

Posted on One min read

When installing Ubuntu, timezone and locale is something you need to take care of. Like language, English is always better than Chinese in the programming world.

In short, you have two choices:

  1. choose China and set locale later
  2. choose US and set timezone later

Finally I adopt the latter because it’s so hard to find the best code for setting locale completely.

Anyway, I will still list the current command:

sudo update-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
