Calibre not starting on debian

saturnblackhole · 02-04-2011, 09:04 PM

Hello, I've tried searching the error but couldn't find any info.

I'm using debian and when i installed calibre (using the command from the website) and click the icon to run nothing happened. When i ran the command to start calibre in the terminal i got the following error.

Code:

WARNING: Failed to set default libc locale, using en_US.UTF-8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 53, in main
  File "site.py", line 13, in set_default_encoding
  File "locale.py", line 539, in setlocale
Error: unsupported locale setting

You don't have the locales installed for your glibc. I don't know how you build loacels on debian, but on gentoo it's called locale-gen

I've seen that happen when someone has upgraded glibc to a newer version than their distro's default.

But I believe the package in question is just called 'locales' on debian.

I'm getting the same error on a unraid server (slackware 13.1). Any idea how I might be able to fix it?
