logger has UnicodeDecodeError

variety 0.5.0
ubuntu 14.04 updated to date

ERROR: 2015-01-09 12:38:38,123: do_set_wp() 'Error while setting wallpaper'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/variety/variety/VarietyWindow.py", line 1254, in do_set_wp
    self.set_desktop_wallpaper(to_set, filename, refresh_level)
  File "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/variety/variety/VarietyWindow.py", line 2328, in set_desktop_wallpaper
    logger.debug("Running set_wallpaper script with parameters: %s, %s, %s" % (wallpaper, auto, original_file))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe5 in position 61: ordinal not in range(128)

it stops wallpaper to change and has been fixed by deleting line 2328 (the "logger.debug" line).
it'll be great to fix this problem in further versions.

Hm, these types of errors were supposed to be fixed and I cannot reproduce it here. Can you please send me your ~/.config/variety/variety.conf file, and also please run variety with "/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/variety/bin/variety -v" , reproduce the error (it would happen again once you hit the same image file, BUT you would have to revert your change first) and send me the log file ~/.config/variety/variety.log.

Thanks.

Also, please send me or attach here the output of "locale" and "env" in a terminal.
