Mono: Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: CodePage 1252 not supported

[vcat]

Hi!

I was playing with Ubuntu + Mono + Mysql and while testing a simple program that returns the result of a simple SELECT statement into the command line, ran into an error:

Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: CodePage 1252 not supported

Upon further investigation I found a very simple solution:

sudo apt-get install libmono-i18n2.0-cil

Since I did not find anything in these forums, I decide to sketch this post.

Thanks a lot for this tip. So far I had a painful experience with the mono project. Mono-server2 had a bug and it has been reported for a while but no one bothered to fix it. The bug is in the configuration of the mono server path it ends with exe extension which it is windows. I done a tutorial about it at http://safwan.speakarabi.co.uk/.

You have saved me lots of efforts. I tried everything to make the database connect but with no luck till I found this page.

The root cause of this problem is a deviation between Ubuntu and Debian - on Debian, all package managers will installs "Recommends:" by default. On Ubuntu, SOME will install Recommends by default, some will not. libmono-i18n2.0-cil is a Recommends of limono-corlib2.0-cil, so if you aren't using the right package manager, you won't get the Recommends.

This divergence is fixed in Intrepid.

Thank you vcat for your WONDERFUL thought! I've been struggling with this for a whole week but never could figure out this until I bumped into your superb post. It is indeed invaluable and I'm very thankful to you for this contribution.

@directhex, how are we (as users) supposed to know what libs go in where? After all, I use synaptic and install these things so it is supposed to work out the dependencies.

Anyway, I'm glad I was able to do this!

Cheers!
