Install command refuses a running Home when the time locale is not English (strptime on ps lstart) #517

Problem

The install command refuses to update a Home whose Runtime is running when the computer's time format is not English:

[4/5] Install
  ... Stopping verified Runtime processes for this installation so the new version can be installed...
Runtime cleanup stopped: time data 'Mon Nov 2 12:06:28 2026' does not match format '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'
Error: Close this installation's Runtime and retry; its existing files were preserved

Seen 2 Nov 2026 on a Jetson (Ubuntu 22.04) whose system time locale is es_CO.UTF-8, installing 2.0.0 over a running 2.0.0 Home. Nothing was changed.

Cause

install.sh (2.0.0, line ~601) reads each Runtime's start time with ps -o lstart= under LC_ALL=C (English day and month names), then parses it with time.strptime(..., "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"). Python's strptime matches %a/%b against the process's own LC_TIME names, so on a Spanish (or any non-English) time locale the English names never match.

Workaround

Stop Home first (Ctrl+C in its terminal), or run the installer with the C locale:

curl -fsSL https://elastos.elacitylabs.com/install.sh | LC_ALL=C bash

Checked: the second form installed and moved that Jetson Home to the stable channel.

Fix

Compare the start time as the raw lstart string (both reads come from ps under LC_ALL=C), or run the embedded Python with LC_ALL=C and set locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "C") before parsing. Add a test that runs the cleanup with LC_TIME=es_CO.UTF-8 (or any non-English locale available on the runner).
