@Philip Muškovac Indeed it seems the bug has been fixed. I just did a full update of karmic on a fresh install and I don't have the problem any more. I wonder why I still had it on the fresh kubuntu I just installed some moments ago, probably because I didn't reboot the machine, either way I am deeply sorry for being such a jerk about this.

Hi, can you please check if this bug still exists after installing all Updates? (Make sure that you have the karmic-updates repository enabled in software-sources).

[Bug 482386] Re: ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG
someone should please please fix this bug already, I just encountered same thing when I installed Kubuntu karmic on my brothers laptop, I couldn't even search with KpackageKit, or even get jockey-kde to work until I changed my locale to UK. I don't have a problem working round this bug but there are millions in my country who will be trying ubuntu for the first time, this bug renders, software-center, kpackagekit, gnome-menu-editor, and lots of other python based applications unusable. At least I was able to trace the problem here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.6/+bug/482386/comments/1 all that is needed is someone with strings within ubuntu to apply the relevant fix which could then be back-ported to hardy, intrepid and jaunty. Please I know my country is small and not important but we have lots of people who would like to use ubuntu too. This bug is over 2 years old already and all that is needed is add 'en_ng': 'en_GB.ISO8859-1', 'en_ng.iso88591': 'en_GB.ISO8859-1', to to usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py .. If this were some other "important country" affected by this it would have been fixed in a matter of minutes. Please someone should do something, this bug is a major deal breaker for Nigerians and its over 2 years and running -- ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confrimed when using en_NG as the locale setting. en_NG.UTF-8 works fine though. ** Changed in: python2.6 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That would be an issue in python then. ** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => python2.6 (Ubuntu) -- ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This Bug is a shame. This issue was first reported on hardy heron when it caused many problems for people who select Nigeria as their location, Things like printer-config-settings, alacarte, and even problems with 3rd party applications like Elisa etc. The main cause of this error is due to the locale set during Ubuntu installation (Nigeria, en_NG). A fix to this problem is adding 'en_ng': 'en_GB.ISO8859-1', 'en_ng.iso88591':'en_GB.ISO8859-1', to usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py Please someone fix this problem already. Has it stands as long as this problem persist. No body in Nigeria would be able to use software center ( or any other tool affected by this issue) -- ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
