Mosh: missing or wrong locale

[blub4747]

HI guys,

When trying to connect fromL Linux to another via MOSH on specific port
I get the following error message and the connection get's closed

The locale requested by LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 isn't available here.
Running `locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8' may be necessary.

The locale requested by LANG=en_US.UTF-8 isn't available here.
Running `locale-gen en_US.UTF-8' may be necessary.

mosh-server needs a UTF-8 native locale to run.

Unfortunately, the local environment (LANG=en_GB.UTF-8) specifies
the character set "US-ASCII",

The client-supplied environment (LANG=en_US.UTF-8) specifies
the character set "US-ASCII".

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory

Connection to duck-feet.webhop.me closed.
/usr/bin/mosh: Did not find mosh server startup message.

I did run both locale commands on both sides eg client and server.
however I still do get the same error message.

Does anybody know how to resolve this problem ?
Thx, blub4747

Mosh needs POSIX locale configuration to be installed on the server for the language that you are using. https://www.mosh.org and #98 have some debug tips. It appears that neither en_US.UTF-8 specified by your client machine's configuration, nor en_GB.UTF-8 specified by your server/login configuration are available. What do you get if you do ssh duck-feet.webhop.me locale?

When I run

ssh [email protected] locale
I got the following output
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

after that I ran a locale commcand to view the locales on the box

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

I than ran 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'
to generate the locales set for 'en_US.UTF-8'
and got this message

de_DE.UTF-8... done
en_GB.UTF-8... done
en_US.UTF-8... done

and I error message stop closing my connection.
Thx guys!
