Minigalaxy crashes on startup due to unsuppoted locale

[KhalilSantana]

Title says it all, but for completeness, Minigalaxy crashes on start if the user has a non en_US.UTF or C as the LANG environment variable.

Stack trace

Workaround

flatpak --user override --env=LANG=C

I'm not sure if this is a flatpak packaging bug (like Discord crashing when the timezone is different), or an upstream (the non-flatpak Minigalaxy) one, if this is the wrong place to report this just say it =p

Fell free to ask any further logs/questions if needed.

Bloody bug flathub/net.lutris.Lutris#78 Thanks for reporting.

You could just add --env=LANG=C in the manifest.
