Hi

Have deploy today CentOS 7 & Template too in LXC.
Im using PVE 7 with last update but have see strange issue when login into CT :

Code:
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_MESSAGES: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (C.utf8): No such file or directory

This issue do not affect CentOS 8 is only on CentOS 7
I didn't have this problem a little while ago it's strange.

Have make a workaround with set

Code:
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8

in
Code:
in /etc/environment

hi,

Im using PVE 7 with last update but have see strange issue when login into CT :
do you see that when you do pct enter 112? or on the web shell?

did you use the centos 7 template from our repository?

does the issue still happen if you remove /etc/locale.conf file? (that one has LANG=C.utf8 defined in it to fix a small issue with systemd-firstboot)
 
Hi,

Sorry for the response time.

With
Code:
pct enter 112
don't have issue but on console from PVE or SSH have the issue.
And if i remove
Code:
/etc/locale.conf
that work too.

Code:
cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=C.utf8

Should I not save?
Code:
/etc/locale.conf

Best Regards
 
And if i remove
Code:
/etc/locale.conf
that work too.
thanks for checking, i reproduced the error messages here, interestingly it doesn't happen on centos 8. seems like the langpack packages are missing on 7.

you can adapt the /etc/locale.conf to say LANG=C and it should work, you can also set it to en_US.utf-8
