Public bug reported: If unity8-lxc-setup is run from a host with a locale that is not included in the desktop next iso (which has only got a few language packs installed), there are a few warnings shown during the setup:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11724558/ The issue is that the host's locale is not recognized and in the container it is then set as "POSIX" upon failure to recognize it. "POSIX" is an invalid locale name, which then prevents Mir from starting in the unity8 session. The workaround for this after the setup is to generate the locale inside the container. In this particular case, it was the 'ca' locale: root@unity8-lxc:~# locale-gen ca Generating locales... ca_AD.UTF-8... done ca_ES.UTF-8... done ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia... done ca_FR.UTF-8... done ca_IT.UTF-8... done Generation complete. root@unity8-lxc:~# locale LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=ca_ES LC_CTYPE="ca_ES.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="ca_ES.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="ca_ES.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_NAME=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=ca_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Here's an explanation of why this might be happening: http://askubuntu.com/a/144448/9781 Perhaps the best thing to do would be for unity8-lxc-setup to run locale-gen if it detects that the host locale is not recognized? Or to simply add a step to run locale-gen regardless, which might be much simpler and less error-prone. ** Affects: unity8-preview-lxc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: unity8-lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: unity8-preview-lxc Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1466035 Title: Incorrect locale if the host's locale is not present in the desktop next ISO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8-preview-lxc/+bug/1466035/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
