Public bug reported: Ubuntu 11.10 beta installation.
1. What you expected to happen The same as what happened, but without the inconvenience 2. What actually happened Supposing a foreign person person in Belgium, let's say an American. Installation starts. Language choice: what he speaks: English (twice) Country for time zone, euro, etc. : Belgium Answer: "There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country..." "You can now select the locale that will be used ... [a country where English is spoken]" And our American guy is requested to move to Zimbabwe or some place, e. g. return to US. Or to install and configure the system in a language he does not understand. FYI: a computer located in Belgium is perfectly capable of running in English, see: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Setting-the-POSIX-Locale As a side note, if he chooses Dutch (his neighbourr's language) the system answers that the messages may be a mix of Dutch and English !!! Make up your mind ;-) 3. The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step 1 is "start the program" 1 start the programs 2 all of the above. ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828412 Title: installer does not allow the right country/language combination To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/828412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
