Several weeks ago my desktop suffered an unknown problem that caused it to not be able to find my boot device. Nothing I could do would get it to find where Mageia was on my SSD. So I cut my losses and did a complete re-install. Boy am I sorry I did that - my system has been plagued by all sorts of gremlins since then. A few I have managed to rectify, but this one I don't know what is causing this or what to do to fix it.
When I execute some cmds in the terminal, prefaced before the result is the following:
- Code: Select all
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=wbp_AU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I have searched online and found numerous hits of this but nothing pointing me to a way to fix my particular problem.
One of the suggestions was to reselect your locale language and re-install it. I looked in MCC and there is ALL sorts of languages for some really off-beat countries - BUT no entry for locale-au (Australia)!!???
And where is this "file or directory" it's looking for???
Also I ran into this associated (?) problem today when I was using K3B to burn a DVD/RW:
- Code: Select all
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects.
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this
So has anyone got any ideas on how I could fix this problem?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
