 |

Hello,
I have a "setlocale: unsupported locale setting" warning when I perform Gentoo installation from the Live CD. I'm following the handbook.
| Code: | livecd / # emerge-webrsync

* IMPORTANT: 13 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.

I tried to do chroot, locale-gen without success:
| Code: | chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update && source /etc/profile
locale-gen
exit
|
My /etc/locale.gen:
| Code: | livecd / # cat /etc/locale.gen
C.UTF8 UTF-8
livecd / # |
What should I do to solve this problem? Can this warning be ignored without negative consequences? |

Does this happen after you chrooted to your new system? But you haven't booted from your new system, have you? Where exactly are you in the installation process? Please tell us the section in the handbook.

Okay, so why have you configured
| Code: | LC_NUMERIC=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=pl_PL.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=pl_PL.UTF-8 |
Configuring the locale is part of the next chapter. 
Either go back to "C.UTF8" - or add "pl_PL.UTF-8" to /etc/locale.gen and run "locale-gen".
Please note that you can only use locales that are shown by "locale -a". "locale -a " doesn't show "pl_PL.UTF-8", therefore it's invalid. You must create that locale with "locale-gen" (see last paragraph) before you can use it. After that, "locale -a" will show it. |

there's a little misbehaviour after setting locale while in chroot.
after running locale-gen and eselect locale list and eselect locale set the system is telling you what to do by running, e.g:
but the system jumps out of chroot, after running above command (<<< this always happens to me), therefore you've to run again:
| Code: | | export PS1="(chroot) ${PS1}" |
only after that locale will be set - check again with locale -a and eveything will be alright.
good luck

This sounds incorrect. Sourcing /etc/profile should not exit the chroot. | CooSee wrote: | therefore you've to run again: | Code: | | export PS1="(chroot) ${PS1}" |

However, sourcing /etc/profile could change the prompt. That does not mean the shell exits the chroot though, only that it is labeled differently. |

this behavior always confused me, therefore i ran the export command again  - to get sure which terminal is chroot, because my last gentoo installations was always from within running gentoo - i like watching movies while installing 
and i have 2 or 3 terminal tabs open at the same time, e.g. chroot terminal, mc terminal and 3rd running gentoo terminal to look for installed ebuilds or whatever i need to compare.
can this behavior changed or it'll confuse other users too, maybe
thx @ Hu
