Hi folks, Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 Host OS vmware-mui-distrib-1.0.4-56528 vmware-server-distrib-1.0.4-56528 I have been suffering on locale problem, having googling around for 2 days without a solution. 1) 1st problem - on ssh On an Ubuntu 7.04 desktop running $ ssh -Y user@server_router_ip rox password: Code: (process:5576): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (rox:5576): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Remark: rox - a light-weight file manager $ ssh user@server_router_ip $ ls displaying files and directories of the server which indicates server connnected. On the other way: On server $ ssh -Y user@desktop_router_ip rox it connected with the rox displayed locally. 2) 2nd problem - on VMWare $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware start Code: Starting httpd.vmware: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_HK.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Please advise how to fix the problem. TIA. Remark: Previously I also suffered on locale problem on this box. I tried to fix it with a new installation of locale resulting in the server crashed. This is a fresh installation, NOT completed yet. Edit: $ locale Code: LANG=en_HK.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_HK.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ locale -a Code: C en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 POSIX $ apt-cache policy language-pack-en Code: language-pack-en: Installed: 1:7.04+20070601 Candidate: 1:7.04+20070601 Version table: *** 1:7.04+20070601 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:7.04+20070412 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages B.R. satimis
Tks for your advice. Already done, installing localeconf. Problem 2) solved Problem 1) still existing satimis
Tried several times, including; $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force locales Besides on each reboot/new start PC, I have to run $ export $LC_ALL=C otherwise; $ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware start Code: Password: Starting httpd.vmware: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_HK.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Where shall I check, Thanks Edit: Cause of Problem 1) found; It is the firewall "iptables" which stops X forwarding. On server after running; $ sudo iptables -F On desktop; $ ssh -X [email protected] rox Code: [email protected]'s password: (process:5282): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library (rox:5282): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (rox:5285): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'mime-text:plain'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it. You can get a copy from: http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases (leafpad:5286): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (leafpad:5287): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. remote rox displayed locally. Files can be evoked. I don't know why it displays a misleading warning there fooling around us. Before the server crashed I ran another firewall script. I'm now running following scripts; $ cat /etc/rc.local Code: # # INPUT # # allow all incoming traffic from the management interface NIC # as long as it is a part of an established connection iptables -I INPUT 1 -j ACCEPT -d MGMT_NIC_IP -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED # allow all ssh traffic to the management interface NIC iptables -I INPUT 2 -j ACCEPT -p TCP -d MGMT_NIC_IP --destination-port 22 # allow all VMware MUI HTTP traffic to the management interface NIC iptables -I INPUT 3 -j ACCEPT -p TCP -d MGMT_NIC_IP --destination-port 8222 # allow all VMware MUI HTTPS traffic to the management interface NIC iptables -I INPUT 4 -j ACCEPT -p TCP -d MGMT_NIC_IP --destination-port 8333 # allow all VMware Authorization Daemon traffic to the management interface NIC iptables -I INPUT 5 -j ACCEPT -p TCP -d MGMT_NIC_IP --destination-port 902 # reject all other traffic to the management interface NIC iptables -I INPUT 6 -j REJECT -d MGMT_NIC_IP --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable # # OUTPUT # # allow all outgoing traffic from the management interface NIC # if it is a part of an established connection iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -j ACCEPT -s MGMT_NIC_IP -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED # allow all DNS queries from the management interface NIC iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -j ACCEPT -s MGMT_NIC_IP -p UDP --destination-port 53 # reject all other traffic from localhost iptables -I OUTPUT 3 -j REJECT -s 127.0.0.1 --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable # reject all other traffic from the management interface NIC iptables -I OUTPUT 4 -j REJECT -s MGMT_NIC_IP --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable MGMT_NIC_IP = server_IP On server; Restart iptables $ sudo /etc/rc.local restart No complaint On desktop running $ ssh -X satimis@server_IP rox Code: ssh: connect to host server_IP port 22: Connection refused $ ssh -X server_IP Code: ssh: connect to host server_IP port 22: Connection refused It did not work Again on server $ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config adding "ListenAddress 192.168.0.11" (router IP) $ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config Code: .... Port 22 ListenAddress 192.168.0.10 ListenAddress 192.168.0.11 .... $ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart Again on desktop $ ssh -X satimis@server_IP rox Code: ssh: connect to host server_IP port 22: Connection refused $ ssh -X server_IP Code: ssh: connect to host server_IP port 22: Connection refused Problem still there. Any advice? TIA satimis
