Vero 4K, sad face after changing language to swedish

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +

Hi,

After updating to the latest release of OSMC and using the swedish language and when rebooting i get a sad face and then the language is reverted to english. I tried a fresh reinstall but the same thing happens again.

logs from my vero 4k: https://paste.osmc.tv/hidiwisaga

Thanks in advance

This sounds strange, are you using OSMC skin? Please enable debug logging and then try again and upload logs afterwards.
@grahamh is the “language” expert but while there are some problems with keyboard layouts I don’t expect a language change to cause a crash and maybe @joakim_s can chime in with his Swedish install

Hi, I did some research and narrowed it down to being a Libcec problem, disabling libcec fixed the issue. here are the kodi logs during the error encounter: File upload and sharing. Large file transfers. Free online cloud storage.

EDIT: The bug occured with both the standard osmc and Estuary skin.

My TV is still driven by steam so I can’t test out many of the newer things but in the latest log I see:

03:23:09.382 T:4082459216   DEBUG: trying to set locale to sv_SE.UTF-8
03:23:09.384 T:4082459216    INFO: global locale set to C

followed by:

So is the menu language of your TV Swedish or English? (I’m not clear why it’s trying to set the locale to Australian English but perhaps it chooses them in alphabetical order.)

This doesn’t explain why it fails, but it needs to be clarified.

I experience the same problem. Realized that kodi had reverted to english language after the upgrade to december patch.

If i select swedish language kodi will crash and revert to australian timezone.

Setting the language to english keeps the other settings.

What’s the language on the TV menu?

Turned on logging, changed language to swedish. Reboot. Now language reverted to english and region set to australia.

My tv language is Swedish on the TV, its an LG oled C7 if that matters

9

Do other languages cause this problem or only Swedish?

I have only tried Swedish, but going to Settings - Input - Peripherals and disabling the CEC Adapter fixes the issue

Similar to @Maxxelito:

I thought that I had disabled the option of CEC setting the language to the language of the TV by default. It’s possible that there is a bug here.

It’s also possible this accidentally got re-enabled here:

If this is the case, then it should be a simple fix.

My tv menu is english, so that explains it. My Vero 2 connected to a TV with swedish works.

I see the issue now. It will be solved shortly.

Just in case you missed it.

Hi

Hopefully the issue is now addressed with the following commit:

I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
  4. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  5. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.
