There might be something wrong with my locales but
dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't fix it. After running it, I
still get this output:
$locale

directory

Please note that I have not selected iu_CA.utf8 nor en_GB in my
locales.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.
Edit /etc/locale.gen and enable the locale(s) you wish to use.
Then as root
locale-gen
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Nope. /etc/locale.gen was already correct. Running the commands
then rebooting leaves me with the same error messages.
I also set up a ~/.bash_profile to set LANG to en_CA.UTF-8 but that
also had no effect. The exact contents are:
LANG="en_CA.UTF-8"
export LANG
You are making a mess, when about to make a mess stop until you have
researched your issue.
Start at the beginning not at the end......
Did you reboot or logout and login
dpkg-reconfigure locales is suppose to set /etc/default/locales
correctly, it runs update-locale if I remember correctly.
cat /etc/locale.gen
# This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find
a list
# of valid supported locales at /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, and you
can add
# user defined locales to /usr/local/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. If you
change
# this file, you need to rerun locale-gen.
#
C.UTF-8 UTF-8
# aa_DJ ISO-8859-1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
snip
cat /etc/default/locale
# File generated by update-locale
LANG=C.UTF-8
locale -a
I'm not making a mess, I'm trying to fix an existing mess. And yes,
I've rebooted so many times today that I felt like I was running
Windows.
Sure you have made a mess, the debian installer didn't select locales
and assign them at random.
I am thinking the following will BARF also.
localectl list-locales
Sorry, but I've never touched locales except through apt/dpkg. I think
the problem more likely relates to older locales not being properly
removed by the upgrade/modification processes.
$ localectl list-locales
C.UTF-8
en_CA.UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8
fr_CA.UTF-8
cat /etc/default/locale
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en
LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8
# locale -a
C
C.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_US.utf8
fr_CA.utf8
POSIX
Also:
$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
C.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_US.utf8
fr_CA.utf8
POSIX
Find out where LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES is being set, they need changed.
If it was me, I would set /etc/default/locale to
# File generated by update-locale
LANG=C.UTF-8
and remove all references/assignments to any LC_<what ever> in all
shell config files.
then reboot and do a locale -a
existing file before doing any changes:
$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en
LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8
I have no idea where LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES are being set. Nor do I
understand why the LANG should be set to C rather than en_CA. However,
when I made that change and rebooted, the errors vanished.
$ locale -a
C
C.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_US.utf8
fr_CA.utf8
POSIX
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8

I can now successfully run jami!
