Description Stephen Gordon 2015-03-19 18:24:14 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad bug 1419905.

Description:

Nova fails to start instances on compute nodes when the base OS (CentOS 7) is installed with a locale other than en_US.UTF-8 (e.g. es_ES.UTF-8).

To avoid this bug, the base system should always be installed with locale "en_US.UTF-8" (US English) on all nodes, esp. Compute nodes.
