Usually, I run aptitude -y install locales then dpkg-reconfigure locales to set up locale.
Now I want to put it into a shell script, how can I reliably do the following, automatically / non-interactively?
en_US.UTF-8 and set it as system default/etc/default/locale contains one-and-only entry of LANG=en_US.UTF-8 as expected
I just installed CentOS 6 and whenever I login to the system via SSH remotely, I get the following error:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8)
When I type "locale" on the command line, I get the following output:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
What can be the problem? How can I solve this issue?
I occasionally get locale errors and I've tried to run dpkg-reconfigure locales to fix the problem. Here's the output:
:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

I looked for /usr/bin/locale but it doesn't exist on my system. Do I need to create it? What do I put in there?
Also I found a related question that says the cause of his problem was in the sshd_config file. The file had the following entry:
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
I'm mainly concerned that it may cause problems for my VPS, otherwise if it's nothing major I'll be happy to ignore the problem. What should I do? thanks!
The %DATE% and %TIME% environment variables provide the current date and time on Windows machines on the command line and inside a batch file.
Sadly, those values are locale-aware! Meaning that, say, on a German machine, you will get
26.1.2011
instead of
2011-26-01
this screws up sorting if you want to use this variable in a file name.
Is there any easy way to get hold of a locale-unaware YYYY-MM-DD date string in a Windows batch file?
For the moment, I am working with this rather kludgy workaround:
for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=. " %%i in ('date /t') do set date=%%k-%%j-%%i
echo %date%
but this is now German locale specific - obviously, a completely independent solution would be much nicer.
The OS in question is Server 2008. I would much prefer not using a third party tool, if at all possible.
How can I get system locale in Windows 7?
I mean something like: cs_CZ.UTF-8
I tried writing "locale" in the command line but that doesn't work in Windows. Any suggestions?
