Public bug reported: During installation of Hardy, I selected my location as Lagos/Nigeria. It appears that this resulted in my system locale being set to en_NG. There's nothing wrong with this, but I noticed that many system tools fail to launch unless I change my locale to a more recognised one (example en_UK).
system-config-printer fails to run and you can see the error message when launched from a terminal as: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 4492, in <module> main(start_printer, change_ppd) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 4466, in main mainwindow = GUI(start_printer, change_ppd) File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 220, in __init__ self.language = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 462, in getlocale return _parse_localename(localename) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 375, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename ValueError: unknown locale: en_NG ** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- system-config-printer crashes on an unrecognised locale https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225532 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
