Warning:-

An error occurred while calling ansible.utils.display.initialize_locale
(unsupported locale setting). This may result in incorrectly calculated
text widths that can cause Display to print incorrect line lengthstext 




Cause:-

The issue is occurs because the localisations are not setup propery and ansible gives a warning saying that the display to print can give incorrect line lengths which can cause difficulties in troubleshooting and reduces viewing experience overall. Its just a warning and not the error itself, means it wont affect the ansible working.

Solution:-

1. Run the following command and it should solve the issue.

export LC_ALL=C

LC_ALL is a environment variable which overrides all the other localisation settings which solves the issue.
