A collection of tips and tricks while using Arch Linux.
Get console messages in english
If your system is configured in another language (mine is in fr-be), it's sometimes embarrassing to copy paste the result of a console log in an english speaking forum, because the messages you get are translated in your language. Here is the trick to get them in english, prepend the faulty command with LC_ALL=C
.
Example
$ pacman -Syu erreur : vous ne pouvez pas effectuer cette opération à moins d’être root.
Same command pre-pended with LC_ALL=C
$ LC_ALL=C pacman -Syu error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
