[solved] Unsupported locale setting and emerge failed glibc

Message

Hello All,

every month i update on gentoo lxc on an Proxmoxhost. This month i have two problems. The first is that the locales is now unsupportet, don't know why, no changes on the Container. Yes the proxmoxhost had normal updates.
The second one is that i can't do updates anymore. Error:

Code: Select all

emerge -quDN --with-bdeps=y @world 
sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8)
setlocale: unsupported locale setting
setlocale: unsupported locale setting

The following packages are causing rebuilds:

  (sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.31.1-r4:0/2.31.1-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) causes rebuilds for:
    (x11-libs/cairo-1.16.0-r3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Running pre-merge checks for sys-libs/glibc-2.28-r6
mount: /proc: cannot mount none read-only.
Unable to mark /proc slave: 32
mount: /proc: cannot mount none read-only.
Unable to mark /proc slave: 32

This is on a lot of packages. So maybe this two things hang together.

Ubuntu's on all Proxmoxhosts had the same problem with locales but this was fixed shortly with one command. On gentoo tested a lot of things in make.conf with "locale gen, locale -a, locale-gen de_DE.utf-8, changed /etc/locale.conf, eselect locale, and a lot of more. Nothing did help. So i need the help from here

So please let me know what information you are need that we can repair the system.

Thanks a lot!

Hi boospy,

please post the output of the commands below

locale -a
locale
eselect locale list

and the contents of the files below:

/etc/locale.gen
/etc/locale.conf
/etc/env.d/02locale

Do you use OpenRC? Or Systemd?

Did you read the Wiki page https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide/en ?

I'd try with FEATURES="-pid-sandbox", note, locale is giving you only warning, it is not an error. Concentrate on mount error.

@jaglover: you are right that there are two problems. A locale problem and a mount error.

I can only help with the locale problem. Maybe you can help with the mount error?

@boospy: you get the locale warnings because you selected locale 'de_AT.UTF-8', but this locale is not configured on your machine.

Is 'de_AT.UTF-8' the locale you want?
Where do you currently define that locale? Do you set LC_ALL in .profile, .bash_profile or .bashrc? Remove those definitions - they are wrong (look at LANG, which is de_DE@euro). You shouldn't set LC_ALL at all.
Read https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide/en
Add the locale you want (probably 'de_AT.utf8') to /etc/locale.gen
Run 'locale-gen'. After that, 'locale -a' should show 'de_AT.utf8'
Run 'eselect locale list' and 'eselect locale set <N>' to set the locale 'de_AT.UTF-8'
Look at file /etc/env.d/02locale. It should now contain:
Code: Select all
```
LANG="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
```
Run 'env-update && source /etc/profile'
Make sure that you really removed any locale definitions in .profile, .bash_profile or .bashrc of root and of any user you use.
Log out and log in

Run 'locale'. You should get the output below:

Code: Select all

LANG=de_AT.utf8             # different to your current output
LC_CTYPE="de_AT.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_At.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_AT.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="de_AT.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_AT.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_AT.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_AT.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_AT.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_AT.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT.utf8"
LC_ALL=                     # different to your current output

Thanks All, very, very much!

Mountrpoblem and Localeproblem are gone away. On mountproblem the sandboxoption worked. And @locales there were sytaxerrors in the file. All entreis were wrong. Didn't work:

Code: Select all

en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
de_DE.utf-8 UTF-8
de_AT.utf8

Code: Select all

locale-gen
 * Generating 6 locales (this might take a while) with 4 jobs
 *  (2/6) Generating de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro ...
failed to set locale!
[error] character map file `de_DE' not found: No such file or directory

Work:

de_DE UTF-8
de_AT UTF-8

boospy,
the correct supported locale entries for /etc/locale.gen
is listed in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
