First of all, WHAT: 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 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: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 We'll see if it works. URL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720356 =====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.

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** URL: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826997 ======Other Days====== ^ [[haas/status/status_201404|Previous Month]] | ^ [[:haas:status|Current Month]] | ^ [[haas/status/status_201406|Next Month]] |
