2. Install Chinese fonts

sudo apt/apt-get install xfonts-intl-chinese fonts-wqy-microhei fonts-wqy-zenhei -y

3. Install ntp

sudo apt/apt-get install ntp -y

Aliyun time servers

ntp1.aliyun.com ntp2.aliyun.com ntp3.aliyun.com ntp4.aliyun.com ntp5.aliyun.com ntp6.aliyun.com ntp7.aliyun.com

5. Change environment variables

sudo vim/nano /etc/environment

Enter the following content

LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8" LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_TIME="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_NAME="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_CN.UTF-8" LC_ALL="zh_CN.UTF-8"

6. Make environment variables effective

source /etc/environment

7. Change the default encoding, enter the command in the terminal

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Enter the graphical interface, select en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8 and set zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8 as default
