I've just set up Arch Linux (not my first time). Everything installed correctly but when I login (X isn't installed yet) I see:

Arch Linux 3.8.4-1-ARCH (tty1)

mgoszcz2 login: root
Password:
Last login: Thu Mar 28 21:47:57 on tty1
-bash: en_IE.UTF-8: command not found
[root@mgoszcz2 ~]#

Anyone knows what's causing this? Any way to fix this?

  • Look through your shell initialization files for the line where you have incorrectly tried to set your locale.

  • I looked through /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/issue & /etc/motd and didn't find anything.. Anywhere else I should look?

    See the Arch Wiki bash article for details on the relevant files...

Thanks jasonwryan. It seems that by accident file /etc/locale.conf contained

en_IE.UTF-8

instead of, correct

LANG=en_IE.UTF-8

Thanks a million.
