LC_ALL & LANG are set OK, but others couldn't set locale correctly.
Hi,
I have a Solaris (SunOS 5.10) installed, by default with the en_AU.UTF-8 locale. I want to change it to en_US.UTF-8
With AU, I have no issues whatsoever, so I installed the language package and now locale -a shows "en_US.UTF-8".
Problem is even with LC_ALL set in etc/default/init, the others LC_* default to "C" after a reboot and throw up the "couldn't set locale correctly" error. I've added each LC_* manually to the init file but get the same result so I've removed those.
Below are some outputs I'm getting. Tried everything I can think of/google.
I'm new to Solaris/Unix so try to keep answers simple and step by step. Any help would be appreciated !
Hey I'm not sure I understand your response. Can you elaborate?
If you mean just leave it as AU, I need the US locale as something I'm installing has it as a pre-requisite and won't install on any other locale set unfortunately

When I login to my AIX server, the LANG variable is automatically being set to En_US. This is causing locale warning messages when I run emacs or perl. The reason seems to be that En_US is not a valid locale (seen by running locale -a).
I can change the variable from the command line (export... (3 Replies)
