[gentoo-desktop] K3B error

Dear List Friends,

I get below notice when i open the K3B.


System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is
set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done
intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting
will result in problems when creating data projects.
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment
variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this.


I tried to write more ISO distros but all are failed. Please help me. How to
change LC_* details.

FWIW, I have the same problem here, but it hasn't seemed to actually 
affect anything operationally.  Of course, I'm a native English speaker 
who doesn't read or write anything else, so most CD/DVDs I tend to burn 
are C standard locale anyway, but within that operating domain, it hasn't 
seemed to be a problem, despite the dire sounding warnings.

However, if anyone has a solution, I too could use it, as the warnings do 
get old after awhile, even if they don't seem to actually matter much if 
at all.

That notice can be gotten rid of by following this guide:

Of course, that locale is American, not English.

Well, en_US, to be technical, which would therefore classify it as a 
dialect of English, but I get your point.

BTW, if you're going to claim "American" not "English", why not go the 
rest of the way and say "USian", since after all, "American" could be 
Spanish, or for that matter, French (Quebec) or Portuguese (Brazil), or 
getting authentic, whatever Indian language.

Or maybe the French speak "European", but the Germans/Brits/Spanish/
Italians/Russians...  do not?

Fixed it here.  All it took was running "locale-gen" to fix my locales.  
I read something recently about a bug (since fixed) in IIRC util-linux 
that caused locale issues, but didn't worry much about it since I only 
read English anyway.  However, I think what must have happened is that 
glibc was upgraded while this bug was active, and the locale-gen that 
glibc ebuilds normally run as part of the upgrade failed.  

I'd known about the problem for awhile, but it wasn't anything high 
priority as everything seemed to continue to work despite the k3b warning 
and a few similar warnings compiling things.  However, after writing the 
above, I decided to look into it a bit, and sure enough quick-fix.  /etc/
locales.gen was still set correctly, but for whatever reason, probably 
the above bug, it hadn't run properly the last time it had been run, so I 
didn't have a valid locale.  Rerunning locales-gen manually was a simple 
enough fix, once I figured out that was the problem.

So run locales-gen and see if that fixes it.  I didn't even have to 
update my environment as that was right, it was simply pointing to a 
locale config that didn't exist where it was supposed to, and locales-gen 
was all it took to fix it.

Y'all quit arguin' about it!  I'm going to lobby for the inclusion of
en_Texas in the standard ;-)

Try running locale-gen
