Tip: fix for update-initramfs "No support for local ..."

[Dutchglory]

I'm running Mint 17 amd64 dutch and i had this warning ..

Code: Select all

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic
Warning: No support for locale: nl_NL.UTF-8

issue:
The problem is that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/root_locale is expecting to see individual locale directories
in /usr/lib/locale, but locale-gen is configured to generate an archive file by default.

i fixed it by running :

Code: Select all

sudo locale-gen --purge --no-archive

you will get...

Code: Select all

 Generating locales...

After that run...

Code: Select all

update-initramfs -u -t 

and warning is fixed...
