Which distribution do you use? On Debian you can install the missing locales by running Code: dpkg-reconfigure locales
Ok did that but when ran it agina i got this message Generating locales... en_IE.ISO-8859-15@euro... done en_IE.ISO-8859-1... done Generation complete. mailman:/# dpkg-reconfigure locales perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_IE:en_US:en_GB:en", LC_ALL = "<locale>", LANG = "en_IE@euro" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). 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 locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory /usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory /usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory /usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory Verstion This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi yes am using debian I did loose all my users so this may because of this
This seems to be the same error I describe in my Xen tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu_p4: So I guess running Code: apt-get install localeconf might be a good idea.
na that did not work still same old same old just says "and lot lot more errors" perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). 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 locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory Its not that its not ugly its just that i keep getting this email from cron saying the error message see above
Possible Solution I just hasd the same issue and have found an easy solution. It's all in the error message, especially the line: LANGUAGE = "en_DE:en_US:en_GB:en", When you either "apt-get install locales" or "dpkg-reconfigure locales", you are asked to select the required locales from a large list. I went through and selected the ones that I needed. The error still appeared. I then redid it and made sure that the languages listed were the ones I selected, which would be "en_DE", "en_US" and "en_GB" in your case. Once I did that the errors vanished.
It's also useful to check you have language-pack-?? installed, as that provides the actual locales. English speakers will most likely want language-pack-en.
FreeBSD localisation I found how to fix the Perl problem in FreeBSD: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html Set the environment variables LANG and MM_CHARSET in /etc/csh.login. (There are other places to do this but I used this - it worked!) The list of locales are in: /usr/share/locale Make sure you spell the locale exactly. If you get the spelling wrong (mix up - and _) it will not work.
This was the problem in my case. language-pack-en-base was not installed. Code: apt-get install language-pack-en-base fixed it.
I found that a mixture of these cleared up this problem for me... Code: apt-get install locales localeconf Select locales to be generated. Code: [*] en_GB ISO-8859-1 [*] en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15 [*] en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 <-- Ok Which locale should be the default in the system environment?<-- en_GB Manage locale configuration files with debconf? <-- Yes If you do not wish to use the default system locale… <-- Ok Environment settings that should override the default locale: <-- Blank Replace existing locale configuration files? <-- Yes If you are not sure … always supported. <-- Ok Default system locale: <-- en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 Obviously you will have to choose your own countries locales, but installing the locales and localeconf is the way the way to go.
