I have a problem to generate the locales on the serveur herbert and homer . I run mongo I get the warning 

Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_* environment variables are set correctly.

When I run

dpkg-reconfigure locales

mongo start successful , then When reboot the server and run mongo i have the same problem.

Thank for help

https://askubuntu.com/questions/536875/error-in-installing-mongo-in-virtual-machine:

Looks like your locale settings are broken or non-existent on that VM, or at least that session on that VM. One of MongoDB's dependencies (boost) will fail when a locale is not correctly set (see SERVER-9032). For reference, before the change in SERVER-9032 this problem still happened but looked like this.

Sometimes logging out and back in can fix it (only broken for current session), or you can try running sudo local-gen to make sure generation is successful.

In the meantime, as a workaround to get mongo (or mongod etc.) running, just set your LC_ALL variable manually before starting the program:

export LC_ALL=C
mongo
