    perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

    All other threads were closed already, so i started a new one. It may spare some time for you.

    I have a virtual private server running Ubuntu 9.10 and got messages like this:
    Code:
    perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
    perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
        are supported and installed on your system.
    perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
    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
    To get rid of the messages I had to run this command:

    Code:
    # locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 hu_HU hu_HU.UTF-8
    then

    Code:
    # dpkg-reconfigure locales
    The problem was solved. I didn't had to edit any files like /etc/environment
    Hope it helps for you!

    I found the solution here:

    Worked perfectly for me (Ubuntu 10.04). I just ran:

    sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 cy_GB.UTF-8


    Replaced hungarian (hu) for Welsh (cy).

    Re: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

    Worked for a new install of 10.04 with added KDE desktop, for which running many applications (perl, firefox) gave "setting locale" error messages when run in Konsole. "sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8" solved that problem for me. I kiss the toes of ejmadar for saving me _much_ time and aggravation .

    Re: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

    You need to pay attention to your error message and issue a command for your missing locale.

    For example, this is the error I got:

    Code:
    perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
    perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    	LANGUAGE = "en_CA:en",
    	LC_ALL = (unset),
    	LANG = "en_CA"
        are supported and installed on your system.
    perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
    The LANG string is the one you need. So, in my case this command solved my problem:

    Code:
    $ sudo locale-gen en_CA

    Re: perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

    Hi all,

    I installed ubuntu 10.10 a week ago, and got my vodaphone mobile broadband up and running. then some update was installed (usb modeswitch something) and... I couldn't get vodaphone to start. I got the same issues a in this thread, and with your suggestions I've actually managed to get it running (even though I don't have a clue what I'm actually doing ). So now the application starts up, says its connected, but then I STILL have no internet.

    The wierd thing is: when I left click on the internet icon, I can check enable mobile broadband, but as soon as I touch anything in firefox, the 'check mark' has disappeared...

    So: 1) thanks for all your help so far, and 2) has anyone got a clue what I can try now??
