Ubuntu
software-center package

ValueError: unknown locale: sr_RS -> Python programs (including software-center) will not start with locale variable (LANG environment variable) set to sr_RS or sr_RS@latin in Ubuntu 10.10

Asked by Ђорђе Васиљевић on 2010-10-24

Hello,

When I try to start the program, it says "Loading Ubuntu Software Center" and then just disappears. I have never managed to make it work, so I had to use Synaptic Package Manager all of the time. I could not use .deb files at all.

Can anyone tell me how can I fix this?

Sorry, it is not in English. I hope you will find a problem.

Ok looks like a clean update with no necessary updates judging by the pattern.

Can you run:

gksudo software-center

If you get any weird outputs, paste them here as an update

Thanks

I'd log a bug. In the mean time you can use:

apt-cache search something
to find apps

sudo apt-get install packagename
to install packages

sudo apt-get remove packagename
to remove packages

Thank you! I hope this will get fixed soon.

I believe that your PC is experiencing the following bugs, for which there is no permanent solution yet:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.6/+bug/463654

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/661956

As a workaround procedure, I think that you need to set the LANG environment variable to something else (for example: en_US)

The following document gives more information on how and where to set the LANG environment variable in Ubuntu:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

Can you help with this problem?
