Re: locale not supported by Xlib

Ok. Problem solved.

The packet I had to reinstall was libx11-6.

Best regards.

Hello everybody.

I'm evaluating Ubuntu 6.06.1 for installing on our clients
(about 35 hosts). Up to now, Ubuntu is in my opinion the best
linux distribution I ever tried.

Unfortunately, I hit a problem I cannot seam to be able to solve.

I noticed the problem first while trying to install Maple 10. The
installation program dies with an error 'locale not supported by Xlib'.

So, I tried to launch gedit, and guess what? Gedit works, but in the
shell I find the same message as above (cut and paste follows).

I probably broke something while installing other software by
hand (oracle, matlab, eagle, etc..).

I tried to reinstall some locales, to change the language,
reinstall xorg, but without success.. the messages are still there.

I can only think of two things, and I'm not certain either will do
anything for you.

First is to ask how you reconfigured the locales. If you used
locale-gen, then I don't have any other knowledge there.
No. I didn't use locale-gen.. I just went to
System -> Administration -> Language support
and changed the default language.
In the upper panel I see that the support tick is
checked only for english and italian languages
In the dropdown menu in the lower panel I chose
English (Australia), which was the default after
installing ubuntu. Before I had italian (Switzerland)

Second is that if you have re-installed all of those things, and still
are seeing the error, it might be a setting in your user configuration
files. I would try either backing up your config files, and removing
them all, or creating a new user to see if the problem exists on a new
account.
I'll try to create a new account and do some testing with it.

Thank you for the hints. I'll let you know the results.

No luck. I created a new user and logged in with it, but
the problem is still there.

so.. it's not a user configuration problem, but a
global configuration problem..

Any more hints?

What are the packages I should reinstall?
What are the ways to reconfigure xlib?

Thank you.


This is the extent of my knowledge on this subject, so if these don't
work, I hope that someone who knows more can chime in.
