I’ve tried to generate the locales on my Raspberry Pi, but i ran into a problem that i was not able to solve for a few hours.
root@rpi: ~$ locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8.../usr/bin/locale-gen: line 41: 303 Killed
localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias
$locale
locale gave me another error
root@rpi: ~$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
But finally i found the solution in an inconsiderable forum post. The reason for the locale-gen error is simply not enough RAM!
The solution is easy, just create a swapfile:
fallocate -l 512M /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
Then run locale-gen again and it works :-)
