How to change the locale settings?

[III]

nedit locale setting

Hey my friend I guess the two of us are real linux buffs.
I don't know this program but from what you are describing it could be that the preferences set from the older version are conflicting with the new one.
A quick remedy is go to your home dir /home/<your name> open a terminal and find the preference file for this app. do ls .nedit* to get it's exact name and then delete it (If this is a kde (gnome) based app then it's preference file culd be in the .kde (.gnme) dir search for it). For this kind of jobs I prefer the NC clone mc (midnight commander)

nedit: changed locale to non-utf8

Let me just write the exact commands I am using and the errors I am getting.

nedit &
[1] 3670
nedit: Symbol `_XmStrings' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
nedit: the current locale is utf8 (en_US.UTF-8)
nedit: changed locale to non-utf8 (en_US)
pratap@pratap:~> NEdit: Converting .nedit file to 5.5 version.
To keep, use Preferences -> Save Defaults
[1]+ Segmentation fault nedit

Any suggestions????

changed locale to non-utf

I still think you should delete the old preference file from your home dir, this file probably starts with a dot and is hidden from the default file managers,
a quick thought bifore doing something else create a temporary user profile tmp log in that profile and start the app, if it starts ok then the cause of your problems is the pref. file you can delete it with out fear of anything the program will recreate the default one!

nedit: changed locale to non-utf8

I did that also.But still it doesn't work.I didn't find any loacle settings in that also.I feel I need some command to change the default locale setting utf8 to non-(en_US) .
But don't know the command.

nedit: changed locale to non-utf8 (en_ie)

Well I tink the awnser is agein yast or now sax.
To change the locale do this:
1. boot in to the console (with out x)
to do this press ctr+alt+F1
2. login as root
3. go to run level 3 >init 3
4. start sax2 (I tink it wat sax2 I have a head ache it culd be just sax)
5.Configure your locale (it's there search for it)
6. reboot (you can do it with calling run level 6 >init 6
bue I have mo other ideas if this doesn't work (ask someone else)
