Petalinux 2017.4 on Ubuntu 18.04: You system needs to support the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

preeti-s
preeti-s over 5 years ago

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 (running on VirtualBox) and trying to create a Petalinux 2017.4 project to interface a webcam to my Zedboard. I have enabled OpenCV and Python on the project as I'm trying to capture a video stream from my webcam.

When I run the petalinux-config -c kernel command, I get the following error:

Error: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration. Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).

Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

You system needs to support the en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Summary: There was 1 ERROR message shown, returning non-zero exit code.

ERROR: bitbake failed to cleansstate kernel

ERROR: Failed to config kernel.

What I've tried so far:

1) I have tried disabling the sanity checker as mentioned in the link below but I couldn't find all 4 sanity.bbclass files as mentioned:

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/Petalinux-2017-4-quot-petalinux-build-quot-fails-on-the-newest/td-p/845209

2) I've also tried editing the file at

/etc/default/locale

to add

LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"

But I still get the same error.

3) Another solution suggested was to edit the locale.py file but I cannot find the correct code lines to edit as it does not match the one mentioned in the solution (linked below):

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Embedded-Linux/PetaLinux-build-fails-with-locale-errors-How-to-disable-locale/m-p/894431/highlight/false#M28960

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
