I just installed terminator terminal emulator on my linux mint. for some reason I don't understand, it sets my password to some of the locale options. I've tried several things but they only offer a temporary fix. each time I open the terminal, it resets the locale options to my password.
LANG=koldenod19*
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="mypassword"
LC_NUMERIC=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_TIME="mypassword"
LC_COLLATE="mypassword"
LC_MONETARY=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="mypassword"
LC_PAPER=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=om_KE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
I've tried using sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales and export LC_ALL="eo_US.utf8" and the problem still persists.
Try this https://gist.github.com/SimonSun1988/2ef7db45e46b889783647d941ec15e4d
sudo locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8"
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
and in file /etc/default/locale add line LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" and relogin to your server.
For CentOS this worked for me.
Add these lines to /etc/environment
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
Edit your /etc/locale.gen then uncomment the following line:
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
Run:
sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
sudo update-locale en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
Verify it;
locale
You may get:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
And Done !!!
If you are having this problem on CentOS, follow this example because nothing else worked for me.
The command localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 fixes the problem, but may lead to another one:
[error] character map file UTF-8' not found: No such file or directory
default character map file ANSI_X3.4-1968' not found: No such file or directory.
Finally, executing yum -y install glibc-locale-source prior to localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 installs the missing files and changes back the locale.
Now locale reports again:
LANG=en_US
.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
(...)
LC_ALL=
Hope that helps someone out there.
RedHat: Change /etc/locale.conf to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
If you encounter this issue and are working based on Docker.
Install locales first and then generate locale.
apt install locales
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
This worked for me :
echo "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" >> /etc/environment
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" >> /etc/locale.gen
echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

So, I have been following GitLab's install guide (on Debian Stretch) and I always get the same error...
The link: https://about.gitlab.com/install/#debian
The error:
There was an error running gitlab-ctl reconfigure:
execute[/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/initdb -D p /var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data -E UTF8 (postgresql::enable line 80) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1'

I have tried some things, but since I cannot find this issue elsewhere, it didn't get me far. I am not that experienced with Linux, so I would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance!
I think your problem are because you're using a latin collation.
Use any collation (LANG en_US.UTF-8) on UTF8.
If you're using Debian, do not change LANG or LC_ variables. Use this command:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
On the interface, please select the desired interface (You can even try with fr_FR, but use always the utf8 option). Do not use LATIN or ISO_8859 alternatives.
After updating from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 I receive the following warning: error found when loading /etc/profile cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale. The warning message also lists LC_MESSAGES and LC_ALL as having the same problem.
Here is my /etc/profile

*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTI-8"
I now can run a program that required locale, but the update-locale complains about invalid locale settings.
I'm over my head here. Please help.
After looking at the last Error message listed in my question, I noticed that LC_ALL was being set to LC_ALL="en_US.UTI-8". I edited the /etc/default/locale and changed the UTI to UTF and now everything appears to be working. I'm not 100% sure that the locale-gen command assigned LC_ALL to UTI... I don't believe I did that.
In any event my solution is sudo locale-gen, edit the /etc/default/locale to
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
and problem solved.
I had an issue similar to this along with multiple others, my locale was all jacked up, autocompletion was haywire, dpkg was throwing errors on installs. couldnt get anthing to change by unset or updating locale the problem was missing directory
/usr/lib/locale/locale.archive
made sure default locale file
/etc/default/locale
was correct then ran sudo locale-gen and it updated everything correctly
When I sudo to root vi mode is turned off, so that I need to either run set -o vi or change root's profile to use vi mode. I don't want to change the profile as this will impact other engineers and I don't want to have to type set -o vi every time I sudo. I read man sudo and tried sudo -i and sudo -sE, but neither of these preserved $SHELLOPTS where vi mode is set.
I did find that setting env_keep += SHELLOPTS in /etc/sudoers fixed the issue, but this file is being maintained by a config mgmt system and I don't want to make such a global change just because I prefer vi as my command line editor. So, ultimately is there a way I can set this when sudoing that will not require making changes to shared and/or managed config files?
[user#host:~]$ echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:hashall:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor:vi
[user#host:~]$ sudo -i
[root#host:~]# echo $SHELLOPTS
braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:interactive-comments:monitor
[user#host:~]$ sudo -sE
[root#host:~]# echo $SHELLOPTS

I'm a beginner with vagrant. I try to create a virtual machine (cent os 6) on my computer with vagrant. When I run vagrant ssh, it prints this warning:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory
When I run locale, I get this:
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=
I searched for an hour but I still cannot fix that.
For CentOS or Amazon AMI Linux, add these lines to /etc/environment (create it, if it doesn't exist):
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
To edit this file via SSH console, try
sudo nano /etc/environment
Edit
For Debian-related distributions (Ubuntu, etc.), you should check that /etc/default/locale is empty. That's the outcome of choosing None in dpkg-reconfigure locales which is suggested if users access via SSH (see Debian Wiki).
/etc/environment is deprecated since Debian Lenny (5.0).
Under root in bashrc add following :
vi /root/.bashrc
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
And reboot your system afterwards.
You can set LC_ALL to C, e.g.
export LC_ALL=C
or prefix before connecting to your VM:
LC_ALL=C ssh vagrant#localhost
Note: You can consider also setting SetEnv for your SSH config (man ssh_config) as explained below.
To make it permanent, you can add the following rule in your ~/.ssh/config:
Host *
SetEnv LC_ALL=C
Assuming your server got the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
Check also: man ssh_config and man sshd_config.
In my case, on Slackware64 14.1 I got the error:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_DK.UTF-8)
It turned out to be missing glibc packages.
Installing the packages:
glibc-2.17-x86_64-11_slack14.1
glibc-i18n-2.17-x86_64-11_slack14.1
Solved the problem.
My /etc/profile.d/lang.sh contains:
export LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_DK.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_DK.UTF-8
export LC_COLLATE=C
Enjoy.
This might be caused by your terminal settings.
For iTerm2, uncheck this setting:
Profiles -> Terminal -> "Set locale variables automatically".
Context: In case you are working on a shared node where you can't modify locale settings, the warning might be caused by your terminal trying (and failing) to change locale.
please try next:
localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
I'm using macOS. I put the following contents into my ~/.ssh/config:
Host *
SetEnv LC_CTYPE=
It seems to me the least intrusive way to alter ssh configuration.
For those getting this error in MacOS:
Open /etc/ssh/ssh_config file (in any editor you prefer, I have used vi editor in the example)
sudo vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config
(enter sudo password)
in this file, comment out the line below:
SendEnv LANG LC_*
(use # for commenting: #SendEnv LANG LC_*)
close the file. Close and reopen the terminal and try the ssh command again.

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
how do you solve this?
Another solution is to add these lines to /etc/environment
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
The next time you log in the warning message should have disappeared.
Open your ssh_config file (in my case under Ubuntu it's located here : /etc/ssh/ssh_config), and comment this line:
SendEnv LANG LC_*
This means :
#SendEnv LANG LC_*
