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. – Roee E Feb 19 '14 at 09:06
  • 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. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Feb 19 '14 at 18:18
