Hi quellen

Code: [Select]

LANG=it
LC_CTYPE="it"
LC_NUMERIC="it"
LC_TIME="it"
LC_COLLATE="it"
LC_MONETARY="it"
LC_MESSAGES="it"
LC_PAPER="it"
LC_NAME="it"
LC_ADDRESS="it"
LC_TELEPHONE="it"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it"
LC_ALL=According to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14547631/python-locale-error-unsupported-locale-setting

Note that if you want to set the locale to it_IT you must also specify the .utf8

[curaga]

Have you generated those locales, using getlocale.tcz? The base only supports the "C" locale.

[quellen]

thanks for reply, but what could i type?

i have tried:

Code: [Select]

$ export LANG="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ export LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ export LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ sudo getlocale.sh

but calibre still say same error.

[quellen]

I SOLVED:

Code: [Select]

$ export LC_ALL=C

now ebook-edit run but it's very very slow (hard disk swap continaully)

in the same computer with WindowsXP (and Calibre1.48 portable) works faster. why?

i have 128MB of RAM + a swap partition of 300MB

[gerald_clark]

You need more RAM.

[Rich]

Hi quellen
You could try freeing up some RAM and see if that helps. Add the  nozswap  boot code to your boot loader. Switching to
a persistent  /home  and  /opt  if you have a lot of stuff in them could help too.

[quellen]

/home is already persistent. in /opt i haven't big things (Calibre is at /home).
while using Calibre (ebook-edit), the swap usage is max 95MB (of 300MB)

I am forced to use WindowsXP :-(

[curaga]

If Calibre's memory usage between platforms differs that much, you should report a bug to them.
