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:

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

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.

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.

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
