bash-fu: Setting Locale on Ubuntu [Hardy]

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Not a tip that is strictly bash related, but useful nonetheless. For those struggling to fix error messages on their Ubuntu whining about of an inability to set locale .

Error message:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.<br/> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:<br/> ...<br/> perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").<br/>

Fix: sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

with en_US replaced with your locale.
