When I activate a new rackspace ubuntu 10.04 instance I keep getting these messages:
perl: warning: Please check that your
locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset), LANG =
"de_DE.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
How do I select and configure the locales correctly?
Edit: This was given to me by Rackspace support, it also worked, maybe it helps someone with ubuntu 10.04:
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo /usr/sbin/update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

/etc/default/locale
