指定locale为en_US
本文讨论的是locale，内容和我的另一篇有一定关联：http://blog.csdn.net/sheismylife/article/details/7635767
今天远程登录到一台UBuntu12.04 server，用locale一看，出现警告信息：
root@s15438266:~# locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_NAME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
这篇帖子解释的比较清楚，大意是ssh远程登录时想将我客户端的locale用在server上。结果server段没有en_US，就报了错。

那就安装一下所有的en语言包：

推出后，再次登录，检查locale
root@s15438266:~# locale
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_NAME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
还有一个问题，就是LC_ALL没有正确设置。现在设置一下：
root@s15438266:~# update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_PAPER = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_ADDRESS = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_MONETARY = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_NUMERIC = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_TELEPHONE = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_MEASUREMENT = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_TIME = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LC_NAME = "zh_CN.UTF-8",
LANG = "en_CA.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").然后再次退出，重新登录，检查：
root@s15438266:~# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8总结，下面两个命令很重要：
apt-get --reinstall install language-pack-en
update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
