Hi,

Please note that v159 or lower, is no longer supported. v6.x is currently required:

However, I believe this issue is due to broken locales. Please use dietpi-config > Regional, and ensure that en_GB.UTF-8 is enabled on the 1st screen.

If problems persist, I would recommend updating to our current v6.x images.

NB: Unsure if you are doing this, however, restoring a backup on a v6.x image, from v159 or lower, is not compatible. It will essentially return the system to v159 and most likely in a dysfunctional state.

I'll mark this as closed. Please reopen if required.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

The locale is and was enabled all the time:

en_US.UTF-8 is enabled also.
