firefox fall and I dont know why
terminal message:

(firefox-bin:4873): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 102 error_code 8 request_code 146 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

You need to set up your locales. Uncomment the locales you use in /etc/locale.gen, then run locale-gen as root.

daimonion · 2006-09-03 10:56:53

I uncomment the locales and run locale-gen as root but firefox always crash.
[user@daimonion ~]$ firefox

[root@daimonion user]# locale-gen

en_US.UTF-8... done

[root@daimonion user]# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
[root@daimonion vlado]#

part of my /etc/profile:
# Locale settings (find your locale with 'locale -a')
export LANG="en_US"
export LC_COLLATE="C"

export COLUMNS LINES

export PS1='[u@h W]$ '
export PS2='> '

umask 022

fi

part of my /etc/rc.conf
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"

... and firefox always crash

Gullible Jones · 2006-09-03 19:45:51

You also need en_US ISO-8859-1.

detto · 2006-09-03 20:31:58

yep! iirc ONLY using (locale-gening) utf8 made problems to me too, which is why some apps dont support or use by default utf8 i guess (correct if im wron here plz)

cheers,

No you haven't:

Looks like you have UTF-8 only.

also, it's important to note this:

Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"

Spot the differences.

Gullible Jones · 2006-09-07 19:18:41

Hmm... Shouldn't it be "en_US UTF8", not "en_US.utf8"? I would think that's a typo.

phrakture · 2006-09-07 20:42:56

Needs a dash too (at least here it does). I've had conflicting reports here and there... but considering ALL of *nix land is case sensitive, it's a safe bet.
