How did i fix my locale issues in Ubuntu
Im probably in the middle of setting out our prod environment in aws ec2 install through ssh. But evertime i do run an installation for a new version of ruby an error probably occurs telling
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US:en",
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
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
(Reading database ... 21173 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing bind9 ...
* Stopping domain name service... bind9 [ OK ]
Processing triggers for man-db ...
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
What i specifically do to solve the problem and fix the error is
1.Check the list of locale i have to see what should i miss or have.
$ sudo locale
it would display list of locale settings
LANG=C
LANGUAGE= (unset)
LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=(unset)
you will see some locales that havent set yet.
2.Generate missing locales
$ sudo locale-gen en_PH.UTF-8
this will output a result of
Generating locales...
fi_FI.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
3.Lastly reconfig your locales with the generated missing locales you got.
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
fi_FI.UTF-8... up-to-date
Generation complete.
After this errors occuring for locales problem is gone
