Make a mistake with apt-get

[RenatoMN]

Hello,

I added a Debian VM, started it and then, by a mistake (forgot vzctl enter VMID) run apt-get update and apt-get (then it was done on the host machine).

Got a lot errors similar to this:

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

Also, Postfix config screen has open, then I choose Internet Site (what should be done when installing a panel, like vhcs2)...

Something to worry about?!

Regards,
Renato

fix: apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

Got a lot errors similar to this:

You can savely ignore the locale errors. Or simply install the locale if you want to work on the host console. or set LANG to 'C'.

Also, Postfix config screen has open, then I choose Internet Site (what should be done when installing a panel, like vhcs2)...

We already fixed this for the next release. For now, just answer the questions to configure postfix.

who set 'LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8'? this should be C instead (or install the locale - see 'man locale-gen')

I did nothing related to "locale" files or language configs. Just installed Proxmox VE 0.9beta2 and some OpenVZ VMs.

Should I run "export LC_ALL=C" ?

Also, the apt-get upgrade was executed with VMs running, any problem with this?

Note: apt-get dist-upgrade is recommended in any time for those who installed 0.9beta2, or only those with older versions should run it?

generate the locale:

echo "pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8" >>/etc/locale.gen
locale-gen

I would restart the machine.

Its needed to get the ssh security updates installed.

It happens automatically if you logging throuth ssh from a machine with that locale see /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
# Allow client to pass locale environment variables
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*

If you comment that out and restart the ssh daemon (or alternatively as you pointed out, generate the appropiate locale on the vm), it will not display those messages
