Locale not supported by C library

#1 Post by Béèm »

When executing a command f.e. in rxvt, I have that message.
I suppose the message is issued as well, but not seen, when clicking on ROX

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# rox

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
sh-3.00# 
What is causing this and is there a cure?
My locale is nl_BE
Puppy Linux 2.02 SMkey, KDE354mini, wine0.9.20, devx-qt-renamed.
Puppy Linux 2.10r1 SMkey, JWM, devx_qt_renamed_210, KDE355mini

I don't know if there are a cure, but I got that warning only choosing a something.utf8 locale :? In addition, Rox(puppy 2.xx) can show dir/file names correctly with utf8 locales.

es_PE.utf8 locale:

:shock: :shock: :shock:

works!

I copied /usr/lib/locale/de_DE.utf8 from Mandrake, and chose the font bitstream vera sans in my Gtk-themeselector.
After restarting rox1, I have "äöü"! cool :!:
Now I'll set Rox1 again as default in Muppy.

Many thanks :D

Beem, you can ignore it.
Gdk is a grafics-library used by Gtk.
As it is basically just used to modify picture-data (like scaling images), localization can be ignored.

Maybe here is the answer:

  • "Try

    export LC_ALL=C and then startx?

    dunno if that works. I dont understand these locales very well in
    the 1st place. Cause u could also set the LANG variable, but that
    didnt work for me. LC_ALL did work tho for me.
    Type 'man setlocale' for an explanation.
