Locale not supported problem

Hi, I´m an Italian Ubuntu user who is trying to feel new experiences with awesome distros
I´ve got a problem when trying to run archibald:

# ./archibald

(gksu:3489): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I´ve already read other posts that explain how to fix this problem, but it didn´t work for me.
My locale -a output:

# 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
en_IE
en_IE.iso88591
en_IE.iso885915@euro
en_IE.utf8
en_IE@euro
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
it_CH
it_CH.iso88591
it_CH.utf8
it_IT
it_IT.iso88591
it_IT.iso885915@euro
it_IT.utf8
it_IT@euro
italian

As you see, I tried to install all English and all Italian locales, but the error remains
Could someone help me, please?

Re: Locale not supported problem

Post the output of just "locale", I'm curious what your language is set to just now...

Re: Locale not supported problem

yeah, try setting LANG= to something or one value manually if not already.
