Locales are (probably) messed up on gnome install

[aspopovic]

I've installed new and improved archtitus in a VM (to check for issues before deploying it to main machine), choosing gnome and other options were left as standard (btrfs, nvme, full install etc). Everything went great, i was in gnome in about 10ish minutes, and everything seemed to work great. I tried to open gnome terminal and it failed. It just spinned cursor for a while and then failed to launch. I know that this is usually related to messed-up locales, so I've used your other script to set locales, rebooted and everything started working as it should. I didn't check if this is reproducible in other desktop environments nor did I check what locales were set up prior to firing up your script, sorry...

Locales are handled separate of any of the current user changeable configurations in the current state of the scripts. Its setup to uncomment out the en_US locale in locale.gen and then generate locales. sed -i 's/^#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen locale-gen localectl --no-ask-password set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" What script did you run to fix the issue?

This line is needed: echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf
