Automate Locale Generation in Arch Linux Vagrant Box

[kisp]

Description:
Currently, to ensure that the en_US.UTF-8 locale is available and configured correctly in the Arch Linux Vagrant box, users need to manually execute the command sudo locale-gen. Additionally, the locale command should display the appropriate locale settings without errors.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Provision an Arch Linux Vagrant box.
2. Verify the locale settings by running locale. It should display the default settings but not the desired en_US.UTF-8 locale.
3. Manually execute sudo locale-gen to generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
4. Re-run locale to verify that the locale settings are now correctly configured.

Expected Behavior:

• The en_US.UTF-8 locale should be automatically generated during the provisioning process.
• Running locale should display the desired locale settings without errors, as follows:

[vagrant@arch vagrant]$ 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=

Proposed Solution:

• Modify the Vagrant provisioning script to include the automatic generation of the en_US.UTF-8 locale during setup. This can be achieved by installing the necessary packages and configuring the locale settings within the script.

Additional Notes:

• Automating this process will streamline the setup of Arch Linux Vagrant boxes and ensure consistent behavior across deployments.
