Locale-gen error (solved) sort of

I am getting the following error using locale-gen...
[root@mauller obmenu-1.0]# locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8.../usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 41: 2780 Segmentation fault localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias $locale
the only ones i un-commented in /etc/locale.gen are the en-us ones. any thoughts on this one?

Sorry for responding to an old thread, but I have exactly the same problem of funkyou after having updated glibc to 2.5.2

Not sure if the above command is correct.

I've this in locale.gen (but even commenting or uncommenting other locales, it segfaults anyway)
cat /etc/locale.gen | grep '^[^#]'
it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
it_IT ISO-8859-1
it_IT@euro ISO-8859-15
I've already tried reinstalling glibc and rebooted a couple of times without any luck. Any idea?

[solved] locale-gen don't work

Hi,
I've just got new Arch install but it seems there's some slight problems with locales. I enable few of them in /etc/locale.gen. To be exact:
#en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_SG ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
#en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_ZA ISO-8859-1
#en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8
#li_NL UTF-8
#lo_LA UTF-8
lt_LT.UTF-8 UTF-8
lt_LT ISO-8859-13
#lv_LV.UTF-8 UTF-8
#lv_LV ISO-8859-13
But when I run
sudo locale-gen
I get only
Generating locales...
[edit].Setting system wide locale...Try `localedef --help' or `localedef --usage' for more information.
After that locale -a gives me only C and POSIX.
Maybe I'm missing something?

strange problem.
localedef seems to be a tool to build some locales
maybe something has gone wrong during the installation of locales.
try to reinstall glibc :
pacman -S glibc
and try again (you'll probably have to edit your /etc/locale.gen again)

[SOLVED] locale-gen, nano, sed not available in arch-chroot

Both the Installation Guide and the Beginner's version say to use arch-chroot before configuring. However, when I try to do this, I no longer have access to the commands I need to do the configuration (e.g. sh: nano: command not found). I can use nano from outside of the chroot, but AFAIK locale-gen needs to be run inside, and it relies on sed which is also not present.
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before-- have I done something wrong?
EDIT: mkinitcpio is also not available while in arch-chroot

Hmmm no I did not do this, nor did I see any mention of it on the install guide. It just says to arch-chroot then (after editing a few files) run locale-gen and mkinitcpio, neither of which are accessible within the chroot'd shell.

So how to get en_CA.UTF-8 in effect? And why isn't in effect automatically? I installed recently and followed the locale-gen procedure. Only graphical stuff installed is i3, qupzilla & smplayer, no gnome or anything. I guess it's not related, but Dvorak layout is working as per vconsole.conf. Thanks

Asked and answered. You need to edit that file - this is described in the Beginners guide and installation guide (edit: and several times on the locale page).

[Solved]Emtpy locale.gen - can't generate locales

Hi,
after a fresh arch install I have some trouble setting locales. I searched the forum and wiki, but all solutions start with uncommenting the appropriate lines within /etc/locale.gen.
However, this file is empty! I tried removing the file and reinstalling glibc but this didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thx

It seems something went wrong with the install because this file shouldn't be empty. Installing glibc (which is also the package that contains 'locale-gen') should generate this file I think. Try reinstalling it. Or put this in there:
## Configuration file for locale-gen
## lists of locales that are to be generated by the locale-gen command.
## Each line is of the form:
## <locale> <charset>
## where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
## and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
## Examples:
## en_US ISO-8859-1
## en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
## de_DE ISO-8859-1
## de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
## The locale-gen command will generate all the locales,
## placing them in /usr/lib/locale.
## A list of supported locales is included in this file.
## Uncomment the ones you need.
## This file names the currently supported and somewhat tested locales.
## If you have any additions please file a glibc bug report.

Locale-gen command not found

Hi everyone
I just completed a new installation of Arch on my netbook, everything was working fine but there is a problem I can not solve.
I managed to set everything as I wanted and put the language of my XFCE and Firefox in Spanish, but then (I do not know exactly when) all programs returned to English.
I already check the rc.conf configuration and locale.gen and everything is set for Spanish, but when I try "sudo locale-gen" I recive a message like this: "sudo: locale-gen: command not found"
I also have problems with the keyboard, I configured xorg and rc.conf to use spanish keymap but it didn't work
Any ideas?

TigTex wrote:I made one arch install that has this problem... locale-gen doesnt work (for example) but it's full path works. How do I re-set the PATH variable?
All the problems I had with the PATH, keyboard and using other language than english had solved when I stop using autostart X in inittab , if I login to the terminal and start X myself, then everything works fine.
I am still looking for a way to start XFCE at boot without having to enter my username or password and not having the problems I told (CDM looks like the better way )

Locale.gen and echoing LANG=es_US.UTF8 UTF-8 || Why "LANG"???

I noticed in the beginner tutorial during the locale-gen area it gives you some options.
EDIT!!! all es_US is really en_US. In bash I never typed es_US. So I changed my code examples from es_US to en_US
NOTE!! I am in learning mode so I am purposly messing with things. I have already got Arch Linux up and running... I am purposely breaking things to fix them.
First, I ran nano and looked at the locale.gen file and saw that it had a huge list.
then I ran
echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.gen
When I saw what happened other than being WOWed by learning what echo does. I saw that the locale.gen replaced the entire file with "LANG=es_US.UTF-8" and on top of that locale-gen has an error with the code.
I would prefer this
echo en_US.UTF-8 UTF 8 >> /etc/locale.gen
So does the beginner guide have an error? Because "LANG=" was never in the locale file to begin with and just uncommenting leaves "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" NOT "en_US.UTF-8"
Thank you for your time!

I did not tell you what the error was... that was my fault. The error went away with me fixing locale.gen to locale.conf.
Ranman: I have gone over the locale.conf wiki. Really what is hard is, when the wiki explains one thing, it explains it almost another language that I, yet again, have to look up something else. So I am hoping my question can be just treated as a simple question.
I can appreciate the intense amount of questions you get from people who do not read or care to take the time. However, I am not that guy. So can you please quit telling me to do research. Please read my whole post, I went through the beginner guide-Many times! It does not tell me what the difference between these two files are.
Yes locale.conf is in the wiki, but locale.gen is NOT. So if it is ok, see my next question...
That brings me to the next question. What is the difference of locale.conf and locale.gen?
if I run locale-gen that will pull the uncommented line and set it as language?
Or if I chose to use the echo to locale.conf
and export LANG=en_US... does this do the same thing?

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere. The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free). I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Today I installed Adobe Director 11.5. I received a couple of errors in the FLEXnet Licensing Service. It looks It could not start. I tried to download the Licence fix what I found on Google but that doesn't work, so I checked the 'Service' at service (windows).
It's status is empty. When I double click on the FLEXnet Licensing Service, clicked on start at the opened window and an error is coming:
Windows could not start the FLEXnet Licensing Service service on Local Computer
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
I don't understand what it says with this message, only that it is impossible to start. However, that is not what I am trying of course, I want to start the FLEXnet Licensing Service, service.
Re-installing of the software, doesn't make any change. How can I start it so Director is also working?

Hi Don1233,
Please consider seek help at the software vendor side.
For the services didn't start, follow the suggestions posted by Elton in the thread below:

I tried following this suggestion: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=19958 but still have the same issues.
My /etc/locale.gen file contains:

en_GB ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
...and glibc version is current/glibc 2.5-4
Am I missing something here?
TIA.

My understanding is Dim01 is taking values from the column - *"Company"."Company Name"*
this being the case, try replacing the column name with one of the values from the column
like @{Dim01}{value1}
value1 being a value from the column *"Company"."Company Name"*..only then it will act as a default value
Hope this helps...

Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
"The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

I had the same problem and your fix worked. In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no. I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no). Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation. And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared!
Thank you to Frank.

00904 error when sorting columns that require double quotes

We have used an ETL tool to import an XML file into Oracle 10g. The column names are mixed case and unfortunately have to remain mixed case because we have a "column" and a "Column" name with different info in them. So when we migrate it in, the field names have be enclosed in double quotes in all SQL operations. The problem in SQL Developer 1.5.1 (Win XP SP2, Oracle 10G) though is that if I try to sort on a column by double clicking the column header, we get an ORA-00904 error COLUMN does not exist. So it looks like it is trying to do an ORDER BY without putting the column name in double quotes. Has anybody else had issues with this and is there a fix for it?
