When performing various actions on a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my web server, I kept being presented with the following message:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). |
After some googling, many people (in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138022) suggested:
sudo locale-gen sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales |
however the solution that worked for me was:
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 dpkg-reconfigure locales |
You might need to reset your machine before changes take effect:
sudo shutdown -r now |
