ValueError: 'LC_CTYPE=en_US' is not a valid locale identifier about safeeyes

Hi Andrew,

I couldn't reproduce this on my system (Ubuntu 16.10 in VM, Python 2.7.12+). Could you please share your system language and region?

Here is my system locale:

gobinath@gobinath-VirtualBox:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
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=

If possible, could you please share the output of the following Python script?

import locale
print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

By the way, the latest SafeEyes doesn't work on either my system, there's simply no break screen. Edit: It works in some virtual machines while it fails to start in others, while using the same Ubuntu versions. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Here's what you requested:

andrei@andrei-desktop:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

and:

andrei@andrei-desktop:~$ python

By the way, the SafeEyes Indicator menu lists an item called "Disabled until restart" which doesn't make any sense since SafeEyes is not disabled:

[slgobinath]

That happens due to this bug. That is the default value for that menu. Since the time is not updated due to this bug, the default value is there.
One more help, please. I need the output of the following Python script.

Thanks in advance

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)

Hi @hotice & @orschiro,
I have released a new version 1.16 with the fix. Once it is available, please test the behavior and do let me know. Until your feedback, I leave this issue open.

Thank you very much for your support.

[orschiro]

Thanks!

Can you release an installable deb file?

[slgobinath]

@orschiro,
Done. It is available in Git Hub release and within few minutes it will be available in PPA (Already built and pending publication)

EDIT: Now it is available in PPA. Just update and upgrade apt.

[orschiro]

Problem fixed! :-)

[hotice]

Fixed here as well, closing this. Thanks for the quick fix!

[slgobinath]

Thank you very much for your support :-)

I am getting the "Disabled until restart" message and no breaks are triggered.
