"locale.Error: unsupported locale setting" error on target hosts and containers

[Mustafa Çelik]

Ansible throws "locale.Error: unsupported locale setting" while running lxc-containers-create.yml at this step: [1],
when the locale setting is not English (in this case Turkish).

[1] http://docs.openstack.org/developer/openstack-ansible/liberty/install-guide/install-foundation-run.html

Solution will be reported as comment.

And here is my servers' locale settings:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=tr_TR.UTF-8
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=tr_TR.UTF-8

LC_ADDRESS=tr_TR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=tr_TR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=tr_TR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=tr_TR.UTF-8

And here is the error that is thrown by ansible at the lxc-containers-create.yml step:

I have found a solution that says "default installation of os contains only limited number of locales, and other locales should be generated from command line".
And I ran the following commands which solved locale settings problem:

    sudo ln -s /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED /var/lib/locales/supported.d/all
    sudo locale-gen
    dpkg-reconfigure locales

[Jesse Pretorius (jesse-pretorius)]

Considering that the locale setting affects multiple components in the environment - Ansible's ssh connectivity to the hosts, the contents of the container (we don't put anything in the container except the defaults), the spice/novnc locale settings, and perhaps more - it may be best that we document in the pre-requisites that the deployment and target hosts must make use of the en_US.UTF-8 locale. To support multiple locales we would have to do a deep dive investigation into the components affected and ensure full support for all components across the board.

    Mention of the supported locales in the documentation

    We current only support en_US.UTF-8 at the moment in openstack-ansible.
    While people can try other locales, we should tell in the documentation
    that it's not supported.

    This commit explains that.

    We could extend the documentation when proper testing of different
    locales will be implemented.
