I've made the changes you suggested - they make sense. I've rerun locale-gen. man locale suggests locale -a as a way to look at what's set up as public. That command demonstrates the problem pretty clearly I think, and I suspect your machine doesn't act the same way:
lightning ~ # locale -a 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_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX lightning ~ # 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_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= lightning ~ # I'm wondering if I really do need to add more stuff to my 02locale environment file. Possibly it got messed up during some update? lightning ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG=en_US lightning ~ # If anyone (everyone!) has a machine that acts better on the above commands could you post back the contents of the 02locale file? This Gentoo page suggests I might want to edit it: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml so I tried adding the LC_CTYPE=en_US to it but that didn't fix anything. It says a directory is missing. What directory? k3b still generates the warning message even after a reboot. I suspect it won't go away until I find the solution to running the locale command above. Thanks, Mark
