What to do when bitbake says " Sad Locale, Need UTF-8"

If bitbake says:

1.  

2. Please use a locale setting which supports utf-8.

3. Python can't change the filesystem locale after loading so we need a utf-8 when python starts or things won't work.

You need a locale. My example will target en_US.UTF-8. You can choose your favorite (native?) locale as long as it's UTF8.

Ubuntu/Debian

1.  

2. tt@7e801839f06a:~/build$ sudo apt-get install locales

3. tt@7e801839f06a:~/build$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

4. <pick your favorite, in my case en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8, then default the language to en_US.UTF-8>

5. tt@7e801839f06a:~/build$ sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

6. Generating locales (this might take a while)...

7. en_US.UTF-8... done

8. Generation complete.

9. tt@7e801839f06a:~/build$ sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8

10. tt@7e801839f06a:~/build$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
