[Ubuntu] change locale ISO to UTF-8

On 27 July 2009, in computing, config, by ayoli

I’ve just got a brand new dedicated server. I’ve installed an ubuntu server 9.04 and default locale was configured to fr_FR.FR@euro (which is ISO). My first try to change this to UTF-8 was to run :

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
It actually did nothing, after a quick search, I’ve found this file :
/etc/default/locale
I edited it and changed the line :
LANG="fr_FR.FR@euro"
for this :
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
and voila.
