OpenSSH_8.1p1 [Terminal] - UTF-8 and Setlocale: Error 0 [OSX]

[mgtremaine]

Just note so it's on the internet. If you see Setlocale : Error 0 in your terminal after logging to into your SGI it's most likely trying to use UTF-8

Rigel:SGUG mgt$ ssh -X saiph
mgt@saiph's password:
Last login: Sat Jul 4 06:13:32 2020
Setlocale : Error 0
Type xterm-256color unknown
xterm-256color not supported changing to xterm
en_US.UTF-8 not supported changing to en_US

In my .bashrc [in Irix] I added 2 tests.. 1 for xterm-256color and a new one for en_US.UTF-8. Below is also a csh version you can drop into your .cshrc as needed.


######BASH VERSION
#Change OSX term
if [ $TERM == "xterm-256color" ]; then
echo "xterm-256color not supported changing to xterm"
export TERM=xterm
fi

#LANG
if [ $LANG == "en_US.UTF-8" ]; then
echo "$LANG not supported changing to en_US"
export LANG=en_US
fi


########CSH VERSION
#Change OSX term
if ( $TERM == "xterm-256color" ) then
echo "xterm-256color not supported changing to xterm"
setenv TERM xterm
endif

#LANG
if ( $LANG == "en_US.UTF-8" ) then
echo "$LANG not supported changing to en_US"
setenv LANG en_US
endif


Obviously you can use whatever LANG support you normally use. Check your locale from your keyboard on the SGI to see it, and then use that.

[mgt@saiph ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_ALL=

Edit: With apologies, I no longer wish to have involvement with SGUG or SGI communities in general,
and have also chosen to remove all of my content. Many things have changed since I co-founded, named, and ultimately
then left SGUG. There are many good people around, to whom I apologize for frustrating by removing these things, and
also many petty people that over the years whittled down both the enjoyment as well as sense of obligation I used to
feel to anyone else regarding what was ultimately just a hobby. Unfortunately one of the latter now writes the rules
and so it is time for me to take my things and go.

This message will replace all of my previous forum posts because deleting threads that I started would have removed
other peoples' posts.

In my .bashrc

Irix .. sorry I can see how that would be confusing. Translate into your favorite shell obviously.


I replaced my neko_sshd with sgug_sshd and see no problems. If I have chance this week I'll expand the sgug_sshd to handle key generation and submit for the post install script section of the RPM.

Added: ok so the morning was slow I wrote a solid base init.d script and submitted it as issue at GitHub.
Linky to here sshd.init

you might wanna edit your first post and point that out explicitly. especially since irix has csh by default and all the major programs assume csh as well.
