I've installed Debian 7 i386 on my VPS (OpenVZ). Everything works fine, except locales – any attempt to install anything shows:
[...]
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "pl_PL.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
[...]
What I've tried:
- Generating locales myself –
update-locale LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF-8"
– shows: http://www.wklej.org/id/1248438/ apt-get install --reinstall locales
http://www.wklej.org/id/1248442/- The same with
dpkg-reconfigure locales
+ settingpl_PL.UTF-8
,pl_PL.ISO-8859-2
or evenen_US
: http://www.wklej.org/id/1248446/ -
export LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8
(even on root):-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (pl_PL.UTF-8)
Here is what shows locale:
root:~# locale
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
LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
Nothing interesting found in /var/log. Even changing repo to official + purge and manual installation locales doesn't solve my problem, which manifests itself on each fresh installation of Debian 7.

It seems that no locale is generated. Have you selected
pl_PL.UTF-8
properly indpkg-reconfigure locales
by pressing space in the corresponding line?If yes, the line
in
/etc/locale.gen
is not commented (= does not start with#
). If you need to fix this, you need also to runlocale-gen
to generate the locales. Its output should be:If it does not output the locales you want to generate, there seems to be something wrong with your system. One reason could be that you have
localepurge
installed. If there are no files in/usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES
or/usr/share/locale/pl_PL/LC_MESSAGES
this is the case or your system is broken.
