 |
|
Hi everybody,
since some days or weeks ago, the locale settings on my system are messed up, without doing anything. I use 3 locales: en_GB.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8 and es_ES.UTF-8. I want the software in english, and I use the other 2 for things like LC_NUMERIC or LC_MONETARY, and I want to have the option to change the language from time to time.
Most of the software is in english (gnome and kde), but some console applications, are in spanish (man) or german (genlop, but now it's "fixed", giving this warning: "setlocale: unsupported locale setting"). If I execute "locale" I get this, no matter if logged as root or any other user:
| Code: |
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
LANG=nds_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nds_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
|
I have no idea what "nds_DE" is, and how it came there.
The content of /etc/locale.conf looks ok:
| Code: |
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
|
and I have only 4 locales in /etc/locale.gen
| Code: |
es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
|
I've tried setting the locales with localectl from systemd, with eselect, writing directly in the /etc/locale.conf file, log-out and log-in, rebooting, everything, nothing changes. Here's my emerge --info, which also shows the wrong "LANG" variable even though is not set in the make.conf (I guess it takes it from the system):

Had a similar problem some time ago with a new installation of Gentoo when trying systemd with Xfce and LANG:
en_AU ISO-8859-1
en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP EUC-JP
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
Tried for 2 days to get it to work. Crazy problems with systemd. Wiped everything and installed Gentoo with OpenRC and Xfce. Worked immediately without problems. |

@juantxorena: Also if you could run following command also: | shell cmd: | | systemctl --version |
This is mainly becuase I want to avoid this problem. So I can possibly make some preemptive package masking...

Apparently correct, different to the output of locale

Updated on 27th April, probably around the time the errors started to happen? (I'm not sure)

I have the same version, but I haven't encountered problems.
As for my locale - I've only set LANG to en_US.utf8. Layouts are all finnish for me, obvious reasons.
Whatever the case may be I want to know what's causing it...
