Python error by startup

[pvanbosgeo]

Hi, I just compiled / build GRASS 7.0 from source and got the following error message when starting up GRASS:

Popup 'Python error':

---

Cannot set locale to ".

Messages on command line:

---

Failed to set LC_ALL to None.UTF-8

(process:14771): Gdk-WARNING : locale not supported by C library

(process:14771): Gtk-WARNING : Locale not supported by C library.

Using the fallback 'C' locale.

These messages appear twice; directly at start up and then again when the Layer manager and Display open.

My system information:

GRASS version: 7.0.svn GRASS SVN Revision: 53615 GIS Library Revision: 52468 (2012-07-27) GDAL/OGR: 1.9.2 PROJ4: Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009 Python: 2.7.3 wxPython: 2.8.12.1 Platform: Linux-3.5.0-17-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-12.10-quantal

Thanks Luca

This problem started with the latest revision. However, I installed this latest revision after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, so perhaps that has broken something concerning the locale?

I see the Milestone is set to 6.4.3. Just to make sure, these problems are with GRASS 7.0, not with GRASS 6.4

When starting R from within GRASS, I am getting the following lines, which do not show when started R normally (not from within GRASS) from the command line:

During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" 6: Setting LC_PAPER failed, using "C" 7: Setting LC_MEASUREMENT failed, using "C"

I am guessing this has the same underlying problem?

this error should be avoided in r53620. Can you try it out, please?

Strange, what says

 env | grep LANG

and

locale -a

?

Replying to pvanbosgeo:

> LANG=en_US.UTF-8
> LANGUAGE=en_US:en

do you have this locale installed? Check locale -a...

[pvanbosgeo]

env | grep LANG:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en

locale -a

C C.UTF-8 en_AG en_AG.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_IN.utf8 en_NG en_NG.utf8 en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZM en_ZM.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 POSIX

your currently used locale seems to be available. Hm, strange.

just tried r53623 and only one error message on the command line (Failed to set LC_ALL to None.UTF-8 (unsupported locale setting)). No pop-up window with error message anymore and no error messages when starting R from within GRASS.

Paulo, could you, please, try GRASS 7 after r59176 ? I changed a bit language overriding code in startup script to avoid problems like you had and still be able to keep language override.

[pvanbosgeo]

Hi Marisn,

Yes, there is no error message anymore.. thanks!

Should I mark this ticket as fixed, or will you do that?
