[Bug 1423359] Re: taking screenshots with mirscreencast fails

[Leo Arias]

Well, setting LC_ALL to UTF-8 works too. Is that a better option?

Here is the error without the env var:

phablet at ubuntu-phablet:~$ mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket -n 1 -f /tmp/screenshot
[1424364638.640752] Loader: Loading modules from: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/mir/client-platform/
Failed to connect to server. Error was :locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

It doesn't take the screenshot.

With the env var it also shows errors, but it takes the screenshot.

  I tried setting the LC_ALL env var to C, and it works.
