Solution for “Locale Error – perl: warning: Setting locale failed.” [Ubuntu]

We are maintaining old version of Ubuntu servers (10.04 LTS to be specific)

Many times we encounter following errors on terminal:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.  perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:  	LANGUAGE = (unset),  	LC_ALL = (unset),  	LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",  	LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8"      are supported and installed on your system.  perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Solution #1

export LANGUAGE=en_IN.UTF-8  export LANG=en_IN.UTF-8  export LC_ALL=en_IN.UTF-8  locale-gen en_IN.UTF-8

If for some reason, above failed to work and throws following fresh error:

warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_IN.UTF-8)

Try following alternative solution.

Solution #2

Edit locale file:

vim /etc/default/locale

Add following line:

LC_ALL="en_IN.UTF-8"

Generate locale again:

locale-gen en_IN.UTF-8

There are some more alternate solutions that you can find on Google!

Above seemed to work for me always. :-)
