setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (0.UTF-8)

[hungryguy]

It happen to me when I removed a package that now I can't remember exactly. Look in /etc/environment and change 0.UTF-8 to your locale, or comment according to https://wiki.debian.org/Locale#Standard.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that worked . I was able to edit the /etc/environment to change locacle as you suggested.

I had same fixed by:

/etc/environment

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

Easy fix work for me:

root@raspberrypi:~$ export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
root@raspberrypi:~$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
root@raspberrypi:~$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
root@raspberrypi:~$ locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
root@raspberrypi:~$ dpkg-reconfigure locales

as soon as I run the last I was asked to choose the locale to generate. My choice was en_US-UTF.8

That’s all, the annoying message disappear!

Thanks John,

Bizarre, I'am still yet to experience the reported 0.UTF-8 issue, on any board (and I go through alot, testing most days lol ).

Still unsure what the cause of this is, but we can look at applying John's fix into DietPi by default to try and prevent this for our users:

Ok, John's fix is coming in v147.

John, any chance you could you check if setting current default locale into /etc/environment results in the 0.UTF-8 issue reoccurring?

Get current locale:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/default/locale | grep -m1 '^LANG=' | sed 's/.*=//'

Then replace /etc/environment entries accordingly.
Reboot.
