After an update yesterday and rebooting my PC, the i3status bar stopped working, this is the message that comes up:
Could not set locale. Please make sure all your LC_* / LANG settings are correct.
Upon updating the system today, I also caught this
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LC_ADDRESS = "pt_BR.UTF-8",

LC_PAPER = "pt_BR.UTF-8",

Here is the result of the command locales:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
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=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
So far, looking it up, I saw that the common solution was to uncomment the languages I use (so pt_BR.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF-8) from /etc/locales.gen and then run sudo locale-gen, I’ve done so already, but the issues persists. This is what happens when I run it.
Generating locales...
es_US.UTF-8... done
pt_BR.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
And this is the output of cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pt_BR.UTF-8
I have also logged off and logged in afterwards, the issue remains. I installed the xfce4 version of EndeavourOS and eventually installed i3wm manually, I’m not and have never used KDE, which seems to be a common causer of this kind of issue.
btm looks done with it
