Please, comment your device and LE version, and if this workaround worked for you.

I can confirm that after installing the locale addon and changing it to en_US.UTF-8 on the addon's settings, emulationstation now runs normally.

@bite-your-idols yes, i've tried to install locale tool addon set it to "en_US.UTF-8" and reset the device, but it wont fix issue.

also i've tried to run python script in ssh terminal

$ python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import locale
locale.getlocale()

(None, None)

then i've tried

$ locale

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

im not the linux-python-guy, but is this command can say that the locale is not set?

upd: just reinstalled the locale addon and the emulationstation runs without issues.

i dont know, is this issue related to emulationstation or to libreelec's default configuration?

I really don't know... but happy to hear it worked again for you!
