K3b locale

Can’t find definitive answer for this elsewhere.
Suggest that this is made sticky because it originates 2007/8.

  System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects.
*Solution*: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this


/etc> locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8,LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

/etc> cat locale.conf
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8,LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

/etc/default> cat locale
LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8

If K3b is unlikely to be unborked what is my best alternative for KDE.
I just want to create ISO images not burn discs.


Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190824
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0
Kernel Version: 5.2.9-1-pae
OS Type: 32-bit
Processors: 2 × Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz
Memory: 1.9 GiB of RAM

Stuck on kernel 5.2.9-1-pae because upgrades to 5.3 are putting the system in a boot loop. Waiting for 5.4 and will try again.

I see that if I have custom locales set within KDE, I filed a bug report almost a year ago https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402004

I don’t see the problem if those custom settings are removed, (ie, in my case, all is “en_GB”), k3b then starts normally without the warning.
