Thanks mate. Worked like a charm.
Do you know the root cause of this warning ?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I am using AWS Linux and this was fix my issue:
sudo localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

In my case I disable "set locale variables automatically" from my terminal preferences and It's ok

now working

Thank you!

Don't forget to install glibc-langpack-en if it's missing.

run command : sudo nano /etc/environment
add the below two lines
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
save- ctrl+o
confirm save
exit nano with- ctrl+x
run command : source /etc/environment

You should be good to go. But i discovered that it needs to reboot on arch given my system specs below for your reference.

It will not work, if you do not have glibc-langpack installed for the required language. English in our case glibc-langpack-en

Thanks

adding that to your .profile (.zprofile, .. or somilar) is enough.
