I see at the other bug report that you set LC_CTYPE to "UTF-8". That's wrong - there is no locale named "UTF-8" on Ubuntu, so get rid of that.
Use /etc/default/locale on Ubuntu for locale related environment variables, and all you need to set there is: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639777 Title: locale settings from /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale not picked up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1639777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
