I have installed the latest arch Linux install version 2012.12.01 and i first want to know why the whole install has changed what happened to the blue and grey interface, now it is just a root login with a terminal? second of all doing all this even more manual then before has just caused me many errors installing, first one i am getting after i installed the whole thing is:
"-bash: UTF-8: command not found" this happens as soon as i login as root or my own user, this is only error i have left, and i have configured my local.conf to en_AU etc and ran locale.gen...
but now when i run "locale" everything says LANGUAGE="C" LANGUAGE="C" etc...
I am not sure what is going on here? Please Help

1. The old installer was no longer maintained; the new one is cleaner and more consistent with the Arch Way.
2. Have you set up your locale in /etc/locale.gen and then run locale-gen as per the wiki?

Yes i have, set my local.conf file to the correct encoding, i have ran locale.gen, i followed the beginners guide which told me to do all this already, but it just is not working...

Please pastebin both files. Also, please edit your first post and change the title to one that accurately reflects your issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … ow_to_Post

I cannot actually paste them because i am using a windows desktop to speak to you on the forums, and my linux machine which is only half way through setting up i cannot access internet to paste them. but i can tell you that i un commented my language that i wanted to use in my /etc/locale.gen and then i echoed it out to /etc/local.conf, i then exported it, then when i typed locale... they all said example="en_AU.UTF-8" then when i reboot my machine they all revert to ="C"?

Without looking at the files I can't really offer any more help. In you first post, you said the error was related to bash choking on a UTF-8 command, and then you said that your locale is defaulting to C. The first error sounds like a misconfiguration, the second like you weren't in the chroot, but that is just guessing based on your recollection of the errors; you need to chroot in and check the files, pasting them here if you want better assistance.

You keep mentioning /etc/local.conf but the correct filename is /etc/locale.conf
On my machine I have the following
$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
