Hi,
I noticed someone added the following to the wiki troubleshooting
section:
Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Unknown char: .
This is apparently due to language setting problem; try starting
beagled with LC_ALL=C
I've backed this out, because if this happens, it's a bug. If you come
across it, please file it. Include the full stack trace and all of your
LC_* and LANG environment variables so we can track it down.
The technical details: It happens when we try to convert a string like
"1.0" to a floating point number, and the current locale (usually
European) uses a different system (ie, "1,0") and we're not setting the
invariant locale correctly.
Thanks,
Joe
