WARNING::[sabnzbdplus:1172] SABnzbd was started with encoding ISO-8859-1, this should be UTF-8.

Hello!
I just installed sabnzbd (2.3.6 [190ec0a]) on my raspbian system (Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB).
Everything looks fine, it seems to run, I can access it from the browser on my Mac in the LAN but there is this Warning-message on startup:
Code: Select all
2020-06-17 22:33:23,050::WARNING::[sabnzbdplus:1172] SABnzbd was started with encoding ISO-8859-1, this should be UTF-8. Expect problems with Unicoded file and directory names in downloads.
What can I do to get rid of this warning, or ist it not so bad and I will have to live with it?
My raspbian (uname -a - output):
Code: Select all
Linux raspberrypi 4.19.118-v7l+ #1311 SMP Mon Apr 27 14:26:42 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux
Debian 10.4
I already changed the system localisation default to "en_US_UTF-8" but this had no effect, even after reboot.
Please excuse my english - I am from Austria
And please, if you have further questions - be so kind to explain it "the easy way" for me, because I'm not very familar with that Linux-stuff.
I have seen one similar thread but because there the solution was the Docker-Solution I think this is not my solution.
Yours
Franz

Can you run these before launching SABnzbd?
Code: Select all
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

Hello OneCD and thank you for this reply!
I did run these commands before launch of SABnzbd.
No more warning in the Startup-Process about encoding. So good!
But - do I have to do this every startup or can I "automate" these steps?

Assuming you're using SystemD, you could create a shell-script that runs those commands first, then launches SABnzbd.
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
/opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py --browser 0
(... adjusting the path to wherever your SABnzbd is installed.
)
Then modify your [sabnzbd@.service] file to exec your new shell-script.

OK. Now it works fine.
Thank you.
Finally, after fiddeling around with my inability to creat a propper shell-script, i discovered the file
/etc/default/sabnzbdplus
which I edited
(EXTRAOPTS=export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
AND
USER=pi).
And that did the job! Without any other work from me SABnzbd started as a service at the next reboot.
All fine.
yours
Franz

Oh cool! I didn't know about that one.
Good work!

Nice to see thing worked out. Using the init.d service that comes with the package - as you eventually did - had the side effect of letting you benefit from the sane environment it sets up. Basically, LANG is taken from /etc/default/locale (if defined), and PYTHONIOENCODING hardcoded to utf-8 to get rid of encoding related issues.

Do note that whatever is set in EXTRAOPTS gets added onto the options the script passes to sabnzbd, so only valid sabnzbd command line options should go in there (
not the stuff quoted here).

OK. I hope I understood what you wanted to tell me.
I now replaced the entry
with what was it before:
Looks good - still no warnings in the GUI in the browser.
Thank you for the advice.
