[solved] mmg from mkvtoolnix doesn't work

Hi guys

I just wanted to use mmg to make a mkv video file, but starting it from terminal, it only shows the following

% locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=
% mmg
Fehler: Die Sprachumgebung konnte nicht erfolgreich gesetzt werden. Bitte überprüfen Sie die Umgebungsvariablen LANG, LC_ALL und LC_MESSAGES.

For the non german guys here:

% locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
% mmg
Error: The locale could not be set properly. Check the LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES environment variables.

Do you guys have the same error messages? I just want to be sure, that it's not my fault, before I post a bug report.

Here I found, that this was already fixed at a much earlier version of mkvtoolnix, so I really have no idea, what's best to do. I recompiled it, didn't change a thing.

Thanks for your help :-)

Anyone here who could test this behavior for me? I just want to be sure if it's a bug or my fault.

Ok, so it seems like there's something wrong here ... Tonight I'll be at home again, there's another Arch machine. Let's see if it works there.. Thanks to you so far :-)

Re: [solved] mmg from mkvtoolnix doesn't work

Ok, solved! I created a testuser and it worked for this user. So I removed all unneeded config files from my home directory and now it works again. Don't know what exactly caused this, but well, everything's fine again :-)
