Hello,

I am having an issue setting the locale. This issue is only as root, and not as another user, which means there is something overwriting as root user.

when I do locale as root, it gives me the following:

LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8

Only LANG and LC_ALL are showing the right locale. The others are showing as C. This is preventing me from installing software. Why is this issue only with LC_ parameters? I also tried to export LC_TIME and other parameters but still it is displaying as "C". How can I export these parameters or set them to right locale?
