Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

Hi, I'm pretty new to Linux and I could really use some help on this one! This is my second Arch install. After the first, which I installed to learn about Linux, I figured there'd be more user-friendly and complete distro's (like SUSE, Debian, etc.). I was wrong
Anyway, this is my second install, but ever since I installed it (and X11, ati-fglrx, gnome and gnome-extra) certain apps give my this error when run from a console. All of them start and work perfectly, except one: gnome-keyboard-properties. I fails to run and starts a bug buddy report window, while outputting the following messages on the console:
[***@*** ~]$ gnome-keyboard-properties
(gnome-keyboard-properties:4727): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(gnome-keyboard-properties:4727): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
(gnome_segv2:4728): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
(gnome_segv2:4728): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
(bug-buddy:4729): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

(bug-buddy:4729): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
** (bug-buddy:4729): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon for Open Folder
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
I've generated the en_US.utf8 locale using locale-gen, edited rc.conf accordingly and I used the hwd-generated keyboard entry for xorg.conf that worked on my previous install.
I've been trying things with my xorg.conf. I used to leave XkbLayout and XkbVariant empty, like in the hwd-generated example, but now I'm using this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Cherry"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "intl"
EndSection
This has a noticable effect: both ' and " require an extra spacebar hit. Pretty anoying, but this at least shows is had effect on gnome. Also, the Keyboard Indicator Applet shows the layout correctly.
I've tried other things, like uninstalling gnome and gnome-extra using pacman -Rnd as to leave no trace, and reïnstalling it. And I can't find anything on Google...
PS I'm running this on an athlon64 with a radeon x700, ftp-install from a 0.7.2 i686 base CD.

I've done a total reïnstall - again. gnome-keyboard-properties works again! However, I still get these errors when opening Gtk-apps:
(gksu:4669): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
I've left xorg.conf's XkbLayout emply, which defaults to "us". There's a related option called "KEYMAP" in rc.conf, which has "us" as default, too. As I said, gnome-keyboard-properties now works and correctly displays "Generic 105-key.." etc. and "U.S. English".
I think I now have /etc/hosts' loopback correctly setup:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain myhostname
192.168.x.xxx myhostname.localdomain myhostname
I'm really out of ideas here. Does anyone know whether this is normal or harmful?
[[ EDIT ]]
Solved. I actually forgot to generate the locales this time. I don't know what it was last time...

Why the default locale configure is not enough in /etc/rc.conf, why to bother about /etc/locale.gen?

You forgot the dash. Caps might matter as well. I have:

You could also try running "locale-gen" as root and here's a wiki article about how to correctly set this all up:

Locale not supported

I updated tarantella native client to
version 3.42 for solaris2.8.
Now I get the error message
<Failed to process Tarantella server information>
at login. (version 3.3 works fine)
The command line shows warnings:
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
It seems to be problem with locale settings, already described in a
previous newsgroup posting.
Setting LANG=en_GB (or other values) did not help.
Where I can get correct locale-files?

Thanks a lot,

Please check your Apache Logfile.
The first connect to SGD by NC is to the Web Server. NC requested
serverinfo.html
Try in a Webbrowser:
http://<servername>/tarantella/cgi-bin/ttawebtop.cgi/tarantella/resources/login/sco/tta/boot/serverinfo.html
You will get an empty page. Look into the Source code of this empty page.
It show something like:
<html><head>


<title>Tarantella server information</title>











</html>
This is the information NC needs to connect to your SGDEE Server.
Check you can telnet to ConnectionHost Port AsadPort

Thank you for the solution that helped to solve
the locale problem. Unfortunally there is still
the error
<Failed to process Tarantella server information>
after approx. 20sec during login.
Our previous version 3.20 works correct
with the same server/login/pw.
Is there a way to identify (debug) the problem.
Thank you very much,

Is XIB not supported in static library (for creating Native Extension)?

Hello,
These day I'm trying to build a static library in XCode to build a Native Extension. The original project from which I'm creating a static library is runs well on device. But when I creates a static library project along with one XIB file within, and port it to the Adobe AIR, the expected XIB view never opens up.
Somewhere some gentleman mentioned that static library can not include XIB, graphics file etc. Is that true (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2797214/trouble-using-xib-files-in-libraries)? Can't I bundle an ANE with XIB support?
Thanks.
Santanu

Also want to know this Current project may require loading xib over Adobe Air. I suggest to start from here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7814928/how-to-load-a-xib-file-in-a-uiview and this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4621408
Let me know if this works and would be gr8 if you can share your solution as opensource

UK Keyboard Map / Gtk-WARNING

Hi,
I'm busy configuring an Arch/ratpoison install and am finding that I repeatedly get this same message while running programs. It does not seem to affect the way they function, but it is highly annoying. I also can't seem to figure out how to change the X keyboard layout into the UK style, and thought maybe the two problems were related (or not). Any suggestions? Thanks
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

To change the X keyboard layout to the UK style, use
setxkbmap gb
Regarding your locale warning, have you read this wiki page?

Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

Trying to open a sharepoint library in Windows Explorer via IE 8 results in the error "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer"

I am attempting to connect to a Microsoft Sharepoint library, via the "Actions -> Open in Windows Explorer" option from the Sharepoint page. When I do so, I get the error message "your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer". In short, I am trying to get the "drag and drop" functionality of a Sharepoint library.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE8. The target Sharepoint environment is a MOSS 2007 EE. My Windows "WebClient" service is running, and I have no problem connecting to this exact library via a Windows XP computer running IE8.

Verify that the Webclient is started automatically from the Services.msc
Verify that your Portal is in the Intranet local security zone (You can reach it from Your Internet Explorer Browser Security Tag) if not add it to the list
restart the WebClient service if it's work good
If not you have to create a network share to your portal URL directly not your documents library.
Open Windows Explorer or My Computer from the Windows Start Menu.
From the Tools menu, click Map Network Drive…. A new Map Network Drive window opens.
In the Map Network Drive window, choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list located next to the "Drive:" option. Any drives already mapped will have a shared folder name displayed inside the dropdown list, next to the drive letter.
Type the name of the folder to map wich is in this case your SharePoint Portal URL (Don't include the documents libraries)
Click the "Reconnect at login" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently. Otherwise, this drive will un-map when the user logs out of this computer.
If the remote computer that contains the shared folder requires a different username and password to log in, click the "different user name" hyperlink to enter this information.
Click Finish.
I am looking for a suite method :)

"Warning : VMName is not supported in the Windows Azure Emulator in role 'WorkerRole1'"

I have a WorkerRole and I am trying to use the vmName attribute is the cscfg file;

<ServiceConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceConfiguration" osFamily="2" osVersion="*" serviceName="AzureDeploymentProject">
<Role name="WorkerRole1" vmName="vma">
<Instances count="2"/>
When I run it up with the following ;
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\Emulator\csrun.exe" /run:"C:\Users\john\workspace-azure\AzureRunMeOutside\deploy\WindowsAzurePackage.cspkg";"C:\Users\john\workspace-azure\AzureRunMeOutside\deploy\ServiceConfiguration.cscfg" /usefullemulator
I get the following error;
"Warning : VMName is not supported in the Windows Azure Emulator in role 'WorkerRole1'."
Does this mean that the ComputeEmulator does not support use of the vmName attribute, or am I doing something wrong.

Hi Jambor.
Thanks for the reply.
I am using Compute Emulator 2.3:
c:\Users\john\workspace-azure\AzureRunMeOutside\emulatorTools>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\Emulator\cs
run.exe"
Windows(R) Azure(TM) Desktop Execution Tool version 2.3.0.0

Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Use "csrun /?" for command-line syntax.
c:\Users\john\workspace-azure\AzureRunMeOutside\emulatorTools>
and SDK 2.3 and I still get this warning. Am I using the correct namespace/version for the configuration?
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceConfiguration"
Where is the vmName registered, and how can I get access to it?
If I use the following, the DNS name is not registered in my standard DNS ( I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 and the machine is outside a Windows Domain, using a corporate DNS server ). Is there some 'Compute Emulator' DNS that I need to lookup, or do I
have to set the DNS part of the Role Endpoints to point to my local DNS server? In the cloud Azure provides DNS services Azure
Name Resolution (DNS), is there any Compute Emulator equivalent?
