[Bug 438383] Re: svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale on Karmic Kubuntu

[Rüdiger Kupper]

The problem is that the locale that is set on your client is not available on the svn server.
If your $LANG is set to "fr_CH.UTF-8", then "fr_CH.UTF-8" must also be in the list of available locales on the machine you connect to.

If you get this error, your locale must be installed on the svn server.
This is easy, but you may not have the privileges to do so. Ask the
administrator to do the following on the server:

Run:

> validlocale fr_CH.UTF-8

If this reports that the locale is unavailable, it also prints one more
line (e.g. "fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8"). Append this line to /etc/locale.gen:

> echo >> /etc/locale.gen  "fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8"

and then call

> locale-gen

The error should be gone.
