ubuntu 13.04服务器上的locale-gen无法正常工作

Question

As I need my locale which is fa_IR.UTF-8 on my Ubuntu 13.04 Server , I'm trying to install it through (sudo) locale-gen "fa_IR.UTF-8" but I don't get any output:

user@s1:~# sudo locale-gen "fa_IR.UTF-8"
user@s1:~#

AND IT DOESN'T ADD ANY LOCALE to my locales!

When I'm trying to install new locales on my Ubuntu Desktop I don't get this error and It works well! as follows:

user@s1:~# sudo locale-gen "fa_IR.UTF-8"
Generating locales...
  fa_IR.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
user@s1:~# 

Please help me what's the problem and what shall I do?

Answer 1

At last I could find the solution by doing some things manually:

1. check which locales are supported :

    less /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED 

2. Add locale to list of generated

    (sudo) echo fa_IR.UTF-8 UTF-8 >> /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local 

3. Regenerate list (it will invoke locale-gen...)

     (sudo) dpkg-reconfigure locales
