Description Dusty Mabe 2015-09-09 04:05:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

locale information is not set right in the fedora cloud image. When you log in you see:

localhost login: fedora
Password: 
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_MESSAGES: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory

`dnf reinstall glibc-common` fixes the issue.


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start cloud image [1] in openstack or libvirt/kvm

Wouldn't this be more a glibc issue? or is there something to be adjusted in the kickstart?

Yep as it turns out we believe it is a glibc issue but it only manifests itself when run through anaconda. See bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1262040.

Comment 5 hannes 2015-09-29 08:28:21 UTC 
I'm still seeing this on Fedora 22 images for EC2
Comment 6 Dusty Mabe 2015-09-29 08:47:23 UTC 
@hannes - I don't think this was ever an issue for the F22 release images. This bug report was against F23. Can you be more specific about what issue you are seeing?
Comment 7 hannes 2015-09-29 08:56:28 UTC 
I'm seeing the same error messages as in the OP, i.e.

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh: line 19: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh: line 20: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh: line 23: warning: setlocale: LC_MESSAGES: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh: line 26: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh: line 29: warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory

when ssh'ing into an instance created from ami-81362db1 which is a FC22 image.
