Bug ID: 477283
Summary: System settings marks all "*.utf8" locales as
invalid/unsupported, and glibc does not expose
"*.UTF-8" variants
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.9
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_regionandlang
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ngomp...@gmail.com
CC: hanyo...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the user sets the locale using the glibc form of UTF-8 locales (e.g.
"en_US.utf8"), KDE system settings chokes on it because it only supports IANA
variant "UTF-8", and not the glibc variant "utf8".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure systemwide locale is set to a "lang.utf8" form (which is the form
used in the system locale list)
2. Create a fresh user profile and start KDE
3. Go to System Settings > Region & Language > Language
OBSERVED RESULT
"The language "en_US.utf8" is unsupported"
EXPECTED RESULT
The language should be selected and behave normally.
