tensorboard crashes with "locale.Error: unsupported locale setting"

See original GitHub issue

tensorboard 1.9.0 Mac OS High Sierra Python 3.6.5

$ .venv/bin/tensorboard --logdir runs
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/mikesolomon/devel/pytorch-sandbox/.venv/lib/python3.6/locale.py", line 598, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

commenting out util.setup_logging() makes it work like a charm, but this is kinda hacky. Sorry that I can’t contribute a fix, as I’m not exactly sure how the locale affects tensorboard and/or python.

for me setting export LC_ALL=C fixed the issue. This might be useful if you do not have sudo rights on the machine.

Hit this issue with tensorboard 1.9.0 on MacOS 10.14 Mojave and solved it by export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
