    Hello, I can not complete the installation. It took days and I've tried reinstalling the server twice.

    I would love to use their services.

    ¡Thank you very much!

    Sergio.

    * Making sure /etc/default/locale is set properly

    A non UTF-8 default locale found in /etc/default/locale. Airtime requires
    a UTF-8 locale to run. To fix this please do the following:

    Ubuntu:
    Put line 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8' (or similar) without quotes to '/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local',
    replacing any existing lines.
    A list of supported locales is available in '/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED'
    Then run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales'

    Debian:
    Run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales' and use the interface to select 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8' (or similar).
    On the second page select this new locale as the default.

    After these changes have been made simply run install again.

    you need to install alsa on your machine
    that is the problem with VPS, they are often bad configured and have a minimal installation

    for alsa

    sudo apt-get install alsa alsa-tools

    for utf-8

    1. check which locales are supported :



      less /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED

    2. add the locales you want (for example fr) :



      sudo locale-gen fr_FR
      sudo locale-gen fr_FR.UTF
    3. sudo update-locale
