[SOLVED] Invaid locale

Fophillips · 2007-06-13 15:21:35

Whenever I start an application I get the error:

warning: current locale is invalid; using default "C" locale

Or:

(process:13189): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

(eboard:13189): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Depending on the app.

I believe my locale is set correctly

rc.conf wrote:

# ...
LOCALE="en_GB.UTF-8"
# ...

locale.gen wrote:

# ...
#en_DK ISO-8859-1
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_GB ISO-8859-1
# ...

$ locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX

$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8

Has anybody got any insight?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Fixed, I forgot to run locale-gen

I am also getting the error message:

warning: current locale is invalid; using default "C" locale

I checked to see if I was connected to the internet.
I changed my rc.conf and locale.gen file to reflect my language. And immediately ran locale-gen as root.

Could there be any other reason why this error still keeps popping up?

Thanks in advance.

Does your locale appear when you run locale -a?

mjjjurek · 2007-07-23 15:46:55

Yes it does...

But I also get these other messages:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX

It lists a bunch of the other LC_ locales that are correctly set to en_US.UTF-8. I cannot give you more specific details as I am not in front of that computer.

Thanks

Try typing:

source /etc/rc.conf

mjjjurek · 2007-07-23 23:31:59

Nope. Same error. I appreciate your idea. Have any others?

You must run

# locale-gen

after setting locale in /etc/locale.gen

Yes, I did that already. Thank you, Misfit.

Anybody have other ideas?
