I just installed the latest daily ISO for Ubuntu. Immediately after installation, the command "locale" shows the following:
LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en LC_CTYPE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Which is more or less what I'm wanting. This leads me to think that the problem may be with the way I installed this instance of Xubuntu in the first place (from ubuntu-core, if that's relevant). Time for a reinstall, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to language-pack-en-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562279 Title: Can't set en_NZ locale Status in language-pack-en-base package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After updating language-pack-en and language-pack-en-base in Xubuntu 16.04, I can no longer set en_NZ.UTF-8 as my locale in lightdm- greeter. Current locale, after fiddling with language support, is: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Previously, everything was "en_NZ.UTF-8" I imagine that the same issue is going to apply to a number of English-language locales other than Australia, Canada, UK and US. These four, plus a generic "en" (which appears to default to en_US) are all that are displayed in the lightdm-greeter language menu.
