Flatpak version does not start (Locale not supported by C library.)

[robschi]

Hello,

I installed minigalaxy from flathub on my Debian testing, but unfortunately it does nocht start.
It says something about 'Locale not supported by C library.'.
I have Installed two language, en_US.UTF-8 and de_AT.UTF-8. Maybe it has something to do with this?

Does this change if you change your system language? I've not seen this before, it may or may not be specific to flatpak. Another thing you could try is running without Flatpak, then we know if it's a Flatpak issue.

It might be related to #139, but probably not.

Yes, starting 'minigalaxy' after installing 'minigalaxy_0.9.4_all.deb' does work.
But I don't know if I want to change the system language :-D

I am on the same boat as robschi:

flatpak run io.github.sharkwouter.Minigalaxy/x86_64/stable                                                      ─╯

Probably this.

I'm closing this, because tim77 provided a fix for it in the comment above.
