Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 Host OS
vmware-mui-distrib-1.0.4-56528
vmware-server-distrib-1.0.4-56528

I have been suffering on locale problem, having googling around for 2 days without a solution.

1)
1st problem - on ssh

On an Ubuntu 7.04 desktop running

$ ssh -Y user@server_router_ip rox
password:

Code:

(process:5576): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

(rox:5576): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Remark: rox - a light-weight file manager

$ ssh user@server_router_ip
$ ls
displaying files and directories of the server which indicates server connnected.

On the other way:

On server
$ ssh -Y user@desktop_router_ip rox
it connected with the rox displayed locally.

2)
2nd problem - on VMWare

$ sudo /etc/init.d/httpd.vmware start

Code:

Starting httpd.vmware:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_HK.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

$ locale

Code:

LANG=en_HK.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_HK.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

$ locale -a

Code:

C
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX

$ apt-cache policy language-pack-en

Code:

language-pack-en:
  Installed: 1:7.04+20070601
  Candidate: 1:7.04+20070601
  Version table:

     1:7.04+20070412 0

Please advise how to fix the problem. TIA.

Remark:
Previously I also suffered on locale problem on this box. I tried to fix it with a new installation of locale resulting in the server crashed. This is a fresh installation, NOT completed yet.
