Hi!

We are trying to run CaptureGrid6 on our RHEL9 machine, but we’re hitting issues. We installed it with snap as per this website: [https://snapcraft.io/capturegrid6](https://snapcraft.io/capturegrid6)

Then when running on our RHEL machine, we see this output:

```auto

If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual

Any clues on what could be going on?

Yes this is a legitimate bug with the Linux GUI version of the app.

I’ll get this fixed for the next app update.
