I am getting the 'unsupported locale setting' error as referenced here (on Ubuntu 13.10). However, following Martijn suggestion only fixes the problem temporarily. Opening a new bash reverts to the 'unsupported locale' problem. Any ideas how I can fix this permanently?

If you are on an Ubuntu desktop, use System Settings -> Language Support.

Otherwise you may want to study a general guide on setting environment variables persistently in Ubuntu.

  • I've narrowed the required settings to only the "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8". However, I've read the general guide, and still not sure where I should put it. I have it in the .bashrc file, and it works. But I feel it's a work-around.

  • Assuming it's a server you have, add to /etc/default/locale the line LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (without the export). Setting LC_ALL persistently like that is usually not a good idea. Feb 19, 2014 at 18:18
