Ubuntu :: Adduser Command - Setting Locale Failed
Feb 1, 2010
I am attempting to add a user via the adduser command. However, I get an error/warning message after entering the following: (note I am following a HOWTO, and this is the line it says to enter).
Code:
adduser renderNode
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX or NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM.
I don't quite understand how to check/configure locale settings or variables,

Somehow my language/locale setting has gotten messed up, and I don't know how to fix it. Several applications complain with a message like: "No matching locale found for 'C'."
The contents of /etc/default/locale is code...
How can I fix this?
(I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 with all updates applied.)

i know some UNIX commands and some centos/linux commands anyway i need help setting up my centos VPS. I recieved the server the today and i wax given a SSH login which i quickly figured out how to use however for many actions including opening SFTP i need to have a non root useraccount form which i have none, so i preceeded to create a new account(adduser username, passwd username) however now if i try to log into SSH, SFTP with the new account i get a message Access is Denied. I need some help and the company hosting the server seems to be pretty useless for actual support, i think they assume VPS owners to have a reasonable amount of linux knowledge.

Maverick 10.10 is unable to create Japanese locales on my wife's laptop (Acer Aspire 3000). This machine previously had no such problem. The install is a fresh install, since the machine froze during the upgrade (no fault of Ubuntu's). A possible complication is that it froze several times more during the install, and I have gone through many recovery boots and iterations of dpkg configure. All relevant packages are installed, I believe. Everything else works. Through System, Administration, Language Support, I have installed all components of English and Japanese. Currently English is selected. Japanese should appear in the list but does not. Japanese text appears properly, and I can write in Japanese,But all the menus are in English. Fine by me, but my wife will want Japanese when she uses the computer again (not soon).This mostly likely is a glibc/libc6 problem, as far as I can tell. I can't find any other Ubuntu user with this problem recently.And now, some outputs:1. dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales...
en_AG.UTF-8... done

I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
LANG=ja_JP.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.utf8"

Proftpd is installed and running fine on 8.04 server. I want to streamline the process of adding users. Adding a ftp user with USERADD fails (user is created but connection fails when trying to connect with ftp client).
Code:
useradd -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
But, ADDUSER works:
Code:
adduser myuser
usermod -d /ftp/ftphome/myuser -g ftp -m -p mypassword -s /usr/sbin/nologin myuser
It's a bother because I want to automate the process, and ADDUSER has all those prompts and asks for the password twice.

Just upgraded to wheezy from squeeze, and trying to resolve a few problems that appeared.
I get an error when installing pulseaudio (and a few other packages). Looks like the install script can't find 'adduser':
Code: Select allSetting up pulseaudio (2.0-6.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: 22: /var/lib/dpkg/info/pulseaudio.postinst: adduser: not found
dpkg: error processing pulseaudio (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
If I 'sudo su -' then 'adduser' is on the path, so why can the install script not find it?

/usr/bin: No such file or directory and I cannot run any adduser commands from root of my new install of Slackware 13.1. This is my first time every installing a Linux distro and I am confused as to why I cannot do anything from the root command that I have been reading in Linux forums?

I am a bit fuzzy about the usage of adduser script directives in the smb.conf. I pressume they give you the ability to add users directly from windows machines... or not? And how can I use them?

I'd like to keep root pw==sudo pw==user pw on a box with Code: $ lsb_release -ds Ubuntu 9.10 $ uname -rv 2.6.31-22-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 02:02:56 UTC 2010 Just now it hung going to sleep, so I shutdown via BRS. On cold boot, HD mount failed and I got the prompt to hit Esc to goto maintenance shell. I did that, got the prompt for the root password, and entered my sudo.
That failed! though it has worked before ... but I changed my user password on that box recently, and I'm pretty sure I haven't needed to fsck between then and now. I'm wondering: What do I need to do to set my root pw? I was able to C-d out of the shell, and karmic took care of itself, but I'd prefer not to rely on that. Is there a way to make my root pw always equal my user pw? If so, is that a Very Bad Idea?

I recently made a script to automatically download a directory from my webserver using ftps (required by hosting company). It seems policy has changed again or something, because trying to download files gets the following error:
mirror: Access failed: 521 Data connection cannot be opened with this PROT setting.I can access the files just fine with Filezilla, but not lftp. I didn't change the code, but here it as anyway:
lftp -f ~/the/file/below
Quote:
open -u USERNAME,PASSWORD DOMAIN
lcd /local/place/to/put/files
mirror
quit
I tried manually, login works fine, but nothing can be done after that.until this works again I've broken a backup system of mine.

I've been searching for how to set Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects from command line. I'm not trying to launch the gui, I want it to set from CLI and then I want to check the GUI to confirm it did set properly... possible? I've tried gconftool which shows me what windowmanager I'm running (note both "Normal" and "Extra" say I'm running "compiz" as my windowmanager.
I've tried gconftool-2 to set it but since both are already "compiz" I don't know how to differentiate between "Normal" and "Extra". I have grep'd all of my .gconf directory and there doesn't seem to be any reference to "Normal" or "Extra" in any of my %gconf.xml files. How can I change the Visual Effect setting from CLI?

'the command I would use to change the group permission to write and the user and other to read and execute for the file "generate-report"' Sounds simple enough but I cant get it to work at all, tried doing a search in google and on the forums here to no avail. Is it possible to do in one command or will I need two?
Ive tried:
chmod g+w, uo+rx generate-report
And numerous other variants all with no luck.

I was doing some coding for school and i accidentally hit the button on my laptop to turn off the touchpad and everything started to bog down and slowly crawl or not do anything. So I reset the machine and the panel is completely backwards now. It still works fine but i would like it the original way. Is there a terminal command or setting i need to reset the panel?

I'm using several 3rd party repos for Centos - RPMforge, ATrpms, EPEL, REMI. Is there some way I can set the priorities for these repos in a bash script, using a YUM command? I cannot find anything in the YUM man page, or the yum-utils package.
Smart PM has a command to set channel priorities from the command line. Wondered if I can do the same for YUM repos?

I've been having issues setting up the wireless interface on my Ubuntu server (command-line only, no GUI) and I can't seem to get it working. It seems as though the card is recognized, the drivers are installed and the interface is up, but it fails to connect. I have no idea where I'm going wrong. I have WPA and a MAC filtering setup on my wireless router. An exception has been made for this PC's MAC address and I've manually entered the connection details into /etc/network/interfaces.

The date displayed in my panel is in the American format: Sat Jun 12, but my locale is set to Australian for everything. I have tried switching to different regions (System->Administration->Language Support), but this appears to have no effect on the date format.

I want to ask a question regarding on the "locale" problem. I've searched a lot on Google, but I think there is no detailed information and logic explained this topic well. Someone may suggest use Preference->Administration->Language Support to add or change whatever language I want. I can't use this way beacuse:
1. I need try to push locale configuration to a lot of linux clients.
2. I want to know the detailed information of how to configure.
I have tried to find the most helpful page on the Internet and read some "man locale":
