HI, after first installation on an old laptop i have encountered this problem:
When i try to run “software boutique” or ''Welcome" form GUI nothing happens.
from terminal i get this:

@$ ubuntu-mate-welcome --boutique
[Welcome] Starting in Software Boutique mode.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/ubuntu-mate-welcome”, line 3595, in
trans = Translations(data_path)
File “/usr/bin/ubuntu-mate-welcome”, line 660, in init
self.locale = str(locale.getlocale()[0])
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/locale.py”, line 577, in getlocale
return _parse_localename(localename)
File “/usr/lib/python3.5/locale.py”, line 486, in _parse_localename
raise ValueError(‘unknown locale: %s’ % localename)
ValueError: unknown locale: en_IL

Can anyone help me plz?

This error looks familiar, but I believe this has been fixed in a newer version.

A workaround is to specify the locale:

ubuntu-mate-welcome --locale=en_US

Then, choose “Get the latest Welcome updates” (from the main menu) or “Get the latest Boutique listings” (from Boutique) which will update the application to the opt-in (PPA) version, which should have addressed this issue.

Thank you!!!

That worked well
