Locales

[stripes theotoky]

For some reason my computer keeps setting LANG=en_AT.UTF-8

(Austrian English)? Very weird and not as far as I can see set anywhere on the system.

$ sudo locale-gen
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  de_CH.UTF-8... done
  el_GR.UTF-8... done
  en_GB.UTF-8... done
  ja_JP.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.

That looks alright and as it should be.

$ locale
LANG=en_AT.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=de_CH.UTF-8

That just looks odd and prevents me compiling tex files with Lualatex and emacs but oddly it works fine from the terminal.

Any ideas on what is happening?

Hi,

I've found that I have to usually run a 

$update-locale LANG="en_AU.UTF-8"

after I do a 

$sudo locale-gen en_AU.UTF-8

on some distributions.

Thank you but that doesn't seem to be the solution. The computer is not setting to Australian English but to Austrian (German - English). I don't want to get the computer to recognise it, I want to get rid of it completely. I have the locales generated for British English, Swiss German, Greek and Japanese. I have no idea where this locale is coming from or how to kill it. I am at the moment in Austria but don't see why that would cause it to generate an unknown locale.

I've never used it myself, but there appears to be a "localepurge" tool designed to remove unnecessary locales.

Please see: https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man8/localepurge.8.html

This tool comes with lots of warnings. I have checked the man page and looked in every directory mentioned in it. Nowhere is there a reference to en_AT. Very odd.
