How to change the locale by setting the system default locale


the LANG is "en_US.UTF-8" which is set to default. As I typed $gedit at root, the error appear " Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale". I have to use comand $export LANG=C each time I work under terminal environment to avoid the error message above.

Do you have any solution?

For LANG env variable, you can set it by edit /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and lang.csh

This does not apply to Slackware.

I found this older post via a Google search. I have a RHEL 5.6 system which, for the most part, has never had any issues with locale. I'm now getting these types of errors from different code:

Quote:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_ALL = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_MONETARY = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_NUMERIC = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_COLLATE = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_CTYPE = "en_US.us-ascii",
LC_TIME = "en_US.us-ascii",
LANG = "en_US.us-ascii"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
It's driving me right up a wall.

I have checked the output of "locale -a" to make sure that /etc/sysconfig/i18n is correct (it is). Something got messed up, probably during a recently "yum update".

I'd really like to fix this, as I think it's going to screw some other processes up. After reading around, I'm still not sure about how to resolve the issue.

Any pointers would be appreciated.


Thanks.

You are in the Slackware forum. I'd suggest you ask this question in the proper forum to have better chances at solving the issue.
