Install issue

[Henrik Müller]

I  am trying to install sonospy on a Proxmox lxc container with debian. The first step after

cd /etc
git clone git://github.com/henkelis/sonospy.git

is to create the database with

./scan.py -d sonospy.db /mnt/vnas/music

But it aborts with

root@sonospy:/etc/sonospy/sonospy/errors# cat ErrorDump-20200722-182413.txt
<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>

A problem occurred in a Python script.  Here is the sequence of
function calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.

 /etc/sonospy/sonospy/gettags.py in <module>()
 2937
 2938 if __name__ == "__main__":

The above is a description of an error in a Python program.  Here is
the original traceback:

    status = main()
  File "./gettags.py", line 2934, in main
    process_dir(path.decode(enc), options, database)
  File "./gettags.py", line 277, in process_dir
    for filepath, dirs, files in os.walk(scanpath, followlinks=follow_symlinks):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 296, in walk
    for x in walk(new_path, topdown, onerror, followlinks):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 286, in walk
    if isdir(join(top, name)):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 73, in join
    path += '/' + b
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)

Can anyone please help me, to solve this issue? Probably caused by false locale settings?

Yes, it was:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

select: en_US.utf8

Add to /etc/profile:

: "${LANG:=en_US.utf8}"; export LANG

Reboot
