/etc/default/locale contains the same value (LANG="en_US.UTF-8") in

How is

the locale set/changed in an LXD container?

Thanks.


Note that if you're using "lxc exec", LXD only executes the shell that
you asked for, it doesn't setup a PAM session for you, so you start 
with

an empty environment.

One way to solve that is to do a "su root" which will then send you
through the PAM stack (if your container has one) which will then 
source

any needed environment.

Another way if you don't want to go through PAM, is to set environment
variables directly on the container or one of its profiles, like:

lxc config set CONTAINER environment.LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

LXD will then set those environment variables for you every time you
exec a command inside the container.

Thanks Stéphane. "su " works. What's the difference between that 
and "lxc exec CONTAINER -- /bin/bash"?  And is there another way to 
enter the container without using "lxc exec" that will setup PAM (or at 
least do it automatically)?

Re: [lxc-users] How to set LXD container locale?

2016-03-19 Thread Claudio Kuenzler 
Have you tried this way:

echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" > /etc/locale.gen

locale-gen

It's the method we're using the set the locale in LXC containers.

[lxc-users] How to set LXD container locale?

2016-03-19 Thread zztest 
None of the typical ways of setting locales seem to stick in my Ubuntu 
container in an Ubuntu host (Ubuntu 15.10, LXD 2.0.0.rc4)


The host's locale shows this

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=


but the container shows this


LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"

/etc/default/locale contains the same value (LANG="en_US.UTF-8") in both 
the container and the host, but I cannot get it to set in the container. 
How is the locale set/changed in an LXD container?


Thanks.
