Terminal error message on each time it opens - unknown locale: en_IL - eladkarako - 02-12-2019
I've installed a clean 4.2, added Hebrew as a supported language right after first-time system-update and driver-update (buttons).
Each time I open the terminal I get a Traceback related to a language that does not exist.
As far as I know Hebrew encoding is 'he_IL' while English languages are usually 'en_*' (en_UK, en_US,..).
It seems that adding a language that is not English kept the preset 'en_'.

Re: Terminal error message on each time it opens - unknown locale: en_IL - eladkarako - 02-12-2019
I've (re)installed Linux-Lite 4.2,
but now I've used the default (English) keyboard layout,
used New-York TimeZone and avoided updating packages, avoided installing drivers and avoided adding additional language-support (previous, I think that this step the the automatic re-configuration of installed-programs that followed might caused the bug).
It resulted with a perfectly working terminal, with 'that colorful' (python based?) command-prompt (which, previously, I think was the program that broke after adding the Hebrew-language support).

Hello eladkarako,
on this link
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29850912/decoding-and-encoding-hebrew-string-in-python
in the answer it discusses adding
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-to the top of the Python script, to ensure the right encoding, the first line of this will already be there, also to check the terminal is accepting this encoding.
