ssh giving me locale error

[bill...@gmail.com]

I have recently installed 4.0.1 with KDE Plasma as my Desktop. I tried to ssh to another computer through my "untrusted" domain, and received the following error. I don't have trouble talking to the site for other stuff -- it's my personal virtual server that I use for email and such, and my email client syncs just fine. The port is correct -- I can connect from other machines.

Any instructions on how to fix this would be appreciated. The same thing happens with my "personal" domain.

[user@untrusted ~]$ ssh -p 2225 <tar...@someplace.com>
The authenticity of host '[someplace.com]:2225 ([123.456.789.123]:2225)' can't be established.

I should add that, by the way, I connect fine. It just an irritating message.

I think you have a locale set in the qube whihc cannot be generated on the
server. Can you check this by looking at locale settings in both.

If this is the case, then there are a few options. The easiest is to
stop accepting locale on the server - look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config in the
"remote" and see if you have AcceptEnv set .
Or in local file, comment out SendEnv in /etc/ssh/ssh_config.

Try one of those and see if it fixes the issue.

I think the problem is that there is NO locale set in the default
template.

You can check this by the localectl command.

As this is used in a lot of place, it is wise to correct it by setting
a valid locale in a template.

really? There is in debian templates, even minimal.
Let's see what OP reports.
In any case, the resolution would be the same.

Thanks everybody. The problem was solved with setting the locale. The only "trick" was that I kept banging on localectl, and it seemed to accept the command, but I kept getting the error and it didn't seem to "take" -- until I rebooted. Doh.
