Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ
I have found a solution to this problem. Open Ubuntu Software Center, search for Language Support, download and install it. This is a language setting software used in Ubuntu (Unity version). It bears the same UN flag icon as the language tool in the GNOME control center, but it is a separate software. When you click and open this software, a dialogue box will pop up and will ask you if you agree to install the language packs which is incomplete. Click yes, and it will install the necessary elements which might be missing. Then go to regional setting, you will find your region on the list. Set the desired region and apply it. You should log out and log in again to make the change take effect. I think this is only a temporary solution. As Gunnar pointed out, the language tool in the GNOME control center should be fixed so that the regional formats can be set from there. 2015-05-08 6:29 GMT-04:00 Gunnar Hjalmarsson 1440...@bugs.launchpad.net: On 2015-05-08 09:31, Saurav Sengupta wrote: My problem, as linked to from comment #12, is that the Region Language panel does not list India (English). Even if it lists a non-English format such as Korean as mentioned in comment #10, it still does not list any English formats other than the few noted in the OP. Right. And I think you were close to the truth when you said in a comment on the Ask Ubuntu page that gnome-control-center seems to get its list from /usr/share/locale-langpack. That's approximately what happens, and it's fine when it comes to selecting display languages, but it's not correct for selecting regional formats. In other words there should be two separate lists, but currently gnome-control-center uses the list intended for display languages for both purposes. My somewhat technical comment was intended for Tim who is an Ubuntu GNOME developer. I might propose a fix later on, but I'd like Tim's view on which route to take first. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440275 Title: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-desktop3 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ
Korean shows up in the language-selector panel, but not in the region-selector panel. As a matter of fact, no other regions except US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand show up in the region selector panel. The region-selector does show Other button at the bottom, but pressing the button has no effect: it does not give me choice of other regions. The choice is limited to the 5 regions mentioned above. This behavior of region-selector has not been corrected in the Beta version of 15.04. So I reinstalled Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS (which is free from this bug) and upgraded from there to 15.04. Now the GNOME control center panel is showing the correct regional format of numbers, time, temperatures and metric units. However, since I haven't clean-installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 from scratch, I don't know what the experience of other Korean users who took this route of installation might be. 2015-04-24 18:53 GMT-04:00 Tim t...@feathertop.org: So Korean shows up in the language-selector region panel, but not gnome- control-center panel? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440275 Title: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ
I did, but it didn't work. So what I did instead was version upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 and the locale and regional format remained unchanged.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ
Yes, I did. I even removed Korean language pack and reinstalled it to see if the reinstallation makes the choice of regions available, but it still shows limited choice of British Commonwealth countries and the US. As you probably know, I don't need to install language pack separately, since when you set the locale to Korean, the system automatically downloads all the necessary language packs. So far no flavors of Ubuntu 15.04 cause the same issue but Ubuntu GNOME. (I even tried Fedora 22 alpha 1 and it did not have such an issue.) I found this issue about three weeks ago. I hoped the issue is gone after the RC version is released, but it is still there. Like I said, I will fresh install the 15.04 on another machine after tomorrow's release to see if the issue is gone. 2015-04-22 18:10 GMT-04:00 Tim t...@feathertop.org: This still sounds like you are missing the langpacks Run language-selector, click the Install/Remove Languages button, does it show Korean is installed? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1440275 Title: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2.
