List of big and rarely used files
You can't just delete these files, this is just a list with ideas! You have to know what you are going to do with them (optify, backup+remove, etc.).

/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive (28 MB)
/usr/share/locale (10 MB, but you have to keep at least the one language you use)
/usr/share/themes/alpha and /beta (they use 5-6 MB each, keep the one you use)
/usr/share/fonts/arabic and /chinese (2,5 MB less for people who don't speak those two languages)

In order to free up some rootfs space, to try and avoid having App Mgr problems again, I followed all the suggestions in the Wiki article 'Free Up Rootfs Space'...

This includes the one about deleting a bunch of files:



I did all the above, but as instructed, I kept a few of the English related language locales in "/usr/share/locale" such as 'en_US', 'en_UK', etc..





A few minutes ago, I rebooted my N900 and VOILA! now my N900 is showing icon labels, system messages, etc, in another language, not even sure which one, but it isn't English, that I'm sure!

Anyway, went to the Settings app in the System directory, opened it and clicked on the 'cpal_ti_language_and _regio....' item and it opens for a second, and then poof it disappears, then I see the message:



Obviously, I must have deleted at least one item too many....



So, my question is whether there's anyway to fix this or do I need to reflash???

I know that in Debian I would try doing in Terminal

Code:

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Anything similar to do in Terminal in maemo??

Thanks for any and all advice!!

In my case I moved locale-archive to /opt, then messed up the symlink (and overwrote locale-archive). Got all the unlocalized names for everything. Fortunately, I had a backup copy of /opt at home. Put up with it for the day, then copied locale-archive back to /opt and did the symlink correctly. Rebooted, all was good again.

Hope that helps you.
