The message probably was unable to set locale.

What is the output of

Code:
locale
For example:
Code:
[lxde@slackware-x86 ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=

See man locale.

I've never seen that error, but you might want to look into setlocale.

I think i can't, because it shows when the machine is starting

andrewthomas 09-22-2011 08:00 PM
So the error is not in dmesg?

I try to find the locale string in the file.
Code:
vi /var/log/dmesg
Code:
/locale
Code:
Pattern not found :  locale

How about trying to take a digital picture while the error message is on the screen and posting the pic?
