[Martin Zahradník - crysman]

OK, I just had done that, it has not helped :/

Here is what has happened:

root at tramtaria /home/fantomas 18:25:09 
❯ man sudo
root at tramtaria /home/fantomas 18:25:46

As you can see, locale is wrong again. The "[hkylut]" should be
"[háčkyžluté]".

Just for comparison, Here is how my locale looks like on my Xubuntu
16.10 desktop when run from within mc:

❱ mc

❱ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TIME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_NAME=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=cs_CZ.UTF-8
LC_ALL=


Any more ideas? Thanks a lot! #cry
