I am using Kubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS)
$uname -a

I am facing a very strange problems with locales in Konsole (the KDE's terminal emulator) program .If I login to a normal console it does not exists.
I have set my locale to Bulgarian (bg_BG), however recently I started to receive garbled output in the console when Cyrillic characters were used, even my Thunderbird couldn't work with folders with Cyrillic names.
It turns out that my locales are somehow messed up. Here is what I get from the locale command:
$locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_BG.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en:bg:es:en
LC_CTYPE="en_BG.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_BG.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_BG.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_BG.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
As you may guess, there is not such locale as en_BG. I have the correct settings in /etc/default/locale.
$cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="bg_BG.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="bg_BG.UTF-8
If I login as root (I have root enabled), the locale settings are OK, and the console works fine. I am not doing any manual exports of variables, and I could not find why the locales are in such garbled state.
I have tried to reinstall language packs, regenerate locales and searched in various dot files in my home directory but I haven't found anything pointing to where the problem might be.
Any ideas what can mess up my locales in this strange way?
