=====locale issues on utilite=====
Being a fresh install, I have encountered an old problem anew... and apparently due to a lack of documentation on my part, I now no longer know how to adequately fix it.

First of all, WHAT:
<cli>
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LC_TIME = "en",
	LC_MONETARY = "en",
	LC_COLLATE = "C",
	LC_ADDRESS = "en",
	LC_TELEPHONE = "en",
	LC_NAME = "en",
	LC_MEASUREMENT = "en",
	LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en",
	LC_NUMERIC = "en",
	LC_PAPER = "en",
	LANG = "en_US"
    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
</cli>

I found what SHOULD be a fix here:

  * http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346581

It describes:

  * locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
  * dpkg-reconfigure locales

====/etc/environment====
I also modified **/etc/environment** by appending the following lines:

<code>
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
</code>

We'll see if it works.

=====GNOME hacking: Getting my Volume Control back=====
As I was setting up the Utilite with LDAP and their non-default 'utilite' user, my volume control in the GNOME panel went away. I was able to get sound back with appropriate membership to local system groups (reference specific assignments of wedge in **/etc/group**), but volume adjustment wasn't available.

To fix (manually), run: **gnome-sound-applet**

To fix (automatically), run: **gnome-session-properties** and add an entry.

=====grep broken (revisited)=====
The locale settings on the utilite have caused a return of some problems experienced long ago, where grep appears to break.

Interestingly, fixing them on the utilite caused things to break on lab46.

The new fix? Setting **LC_ALL** equal to **C** restores the desired functionality.

I'll have to implement these fixes to **lair-std**
