[solved] bsdcpio failed to set default locale

Hi all,

I've followed the guide, except for the locale as i need a french keyboard

i tried with both fr_FR.UTF-8 and fr_FR.iso88591 but each time mkinitcpio -p produces the same error message.

locale-a also signals some errors :

Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale : No such file or directory
Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale : No such file or directory
Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale : No such file or directory

i've browsed the forum but the proposed troubleshooting was not usefull
(i've checked my mkinicpio.conf and included both usb and keymap hooks)

Best

Re: [solved] bsdcpio failed to set default locale

Have you enabled the locale and run 'locale-gen' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ide#Locale ?

Edit: What's the output of 'locale' and 'locale -a'?

Re: [solved] bsdcpio failed to set default locale

I found the  issue, i had to execute :

export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

before setting locales and running mkinitcpio and it went smoothly

Thank you for the help, the solution is documented in the french wiki !
