i have opensuse 10.3
when i type avastgui in a terminal i get this warning error in the terminal.
(process 6912): gdk warning **: local not supported by xlib
(process 6912): gdk warning **: can not set locale modifiers
gtk-message: failed to load module “gnomebreakpad”*: libgnomebreakpad.so: can not
open shared object file: no such file or directory.
print screen of warning attached
how can i correct the problem ???
thanks 
now im getting another warning pop up
deleted stale lock file ‘/root/avast/lockfile-root’
This popup appears when avast process/service was not correctly shutdown.
It should appear only once, on next avast opening and not all the time.
these warning have only informational nature - the first complains about unsupported locales in xlib (check you locale settings - locales -a).
The second one warns about lock that survived from previous run - is this warning deterministic, even when you exit the application from its menu the normal way (= not killing it explicitly)?

how do i check my locale settings?
and how do i fix it?
thanks
type locale -a from your terminal

The same warning appears when launching avastgui in Ubuntu. When launching from the Application>Accessories menu, there is no such problem. In Ubuntu I can launch avast! as root using gksudo avastgui, but the program then prompts for a key, which it doesn’t from the menu.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a good installation guide for Suse. Some comments by a Suse user here may help:

type also locale (without -a) - quite safe should be setting it to “POSIX”, for english-speaking installations:
zilog@zilog:~$ locale -a
C
POSIX
cs_CZ
cs_CZ.iso88592
czech
zilog@zilog:~$ locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=“POSIX”
LC_NUMERIC=“POSIX”
LC_TIME=“POSIX”
LC_COLLATE=“POSIX”
LC_MONETARY=“POSIX”
LC_MESSAGES=“POSIX”
LC_PAPER=“POSIX”
LC_NAME=“POSIX”
LC_ADDRESS=“POSIX”
LC_TELEPHONE=“POSIX”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“POSIX”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“POSIX”
LC_ALL=
i got this typing locale
So set it to POSTIX ,how do i set it to POSTIX
YEA for english us
os@os:~> locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=
export LC_ALL=POSIX
or
LC_ALL=POSIX avastgui
… should be enough :). change the locales globally, or use this on-demand change when running avastgui only.
