Hello,
I have always had trouble with my locale after installing guix on Arch
Linux (with zsh and a basic window manager, bspwm). I have set
GUIX_LOCPATH in ~/.zshenv and it appears correct in my shell. The
system-wide locale looks right. When I install postgresql it gives the
usual "warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument". When I try
to initialise a database cluster, passing the locale doesn't work.
Does anyone using Arch Linux and a basic WM know which file to put
GUIX_LOCPATH in so that the warning goes away?
How can I find out what guix thinks its locale is or what are available?
Is there a way to use initdb even though there is a locale warning?
Shell experiments:
$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ echo $GUIX_LOCPATH
/home/myles/.guix-profile/lib/locale
$ guix package -i postgresql
