lotuspsychjehehe20:09
lotuspsychjenite nite all20:40
akikanyone seen a bug report about the ubuntu installer and setting the system locale? it doesn't ask you in which language you want to use the installed system but decides it according to the keyboard layout you choose21:50
akiki.e. i want to use a finnish keyboard layout but use ubuntu in english22:02
daftykinswhich release is this you tried to install?22:03
akikwell it was like this since 14.04 at least22:04
daftykinsthen you need to ask in #ubuntu - this is a non-support channel, as per topic :)22:04
akikno, i know how to fix it22:04
akikjust that is there any drive to fix the issue in the installer22:04
daftykinsso are you really asking how to report a bug, or what?22:05
akiki asked if someone has seen a bug report about it22:05
daftykinsah yeah, still not a support channel22:06
daftykinsyou know how to search? :)22:06
akiki'm trying to use my google-fu22:06
akikdude this is for discussing ubuntu22:06
daftykinsyes at a conceptual level, "how do i..." = support22:07
akikno i'm not asking how to fix it. i know how to do it22:07
daftykinsif you did you'd have published a fix to a bug in ubiquity22:07
akikso you have seen a bug report about it?22:08
akikthe problem is that the installer does not ask you in which language you want to use the installed system22:08
akikit decides it according to the keyboard layout you choose22:09
daftykinsi'm telling you you're asking in the wrong place, go and ask for help finding a relevant bug in #ubuntu22:09
akikor the timezone/location22:09
akiki'll just ignore you for now22:10
daftykinswhy do you have a problem with being told you're in the wrong place?22:10
daftykinsdo you think rules don't apply to you?22:10
TJ-akik: looks like Bug #137366322:16
ubot5`bug 1373663 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Inadequate locale settings" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/137366322:16
akikyea that's how it rolls22:18
akikactually isn't there a selection for language in the installer? i always select english there22:19
TJ-You know what I think the problem is? the move from BIOS to UEFI boot! Are you testing this on a UEFI boot?22:20
akikbios. i didn't have an uefi machine while 14.04'ing22:20
TJ-Because if you recall, the installer booting from BIOS uses syslinux which pops up an initial language selector which I think it passes the results of along to the installer, whereas UEFI uses grub which doesn't do that22:20
akiki can run a test in vbox22:21
TJ-Are you selecting English as a language at that pre-boot stage?22:21
akikno, but in the installer ui22:21
TJ-I know that originally that selection was passed through into d-i and ubiquity, or was supposed to be22:21
daftykinsyip sure does22:26
akikone thing popped into my mind. i only use kubuntu. does that follow the same rules than whatever the default ubuntu installer uses?22:26
daftykinswell, it does if you press a key at the purple boot splash22:26
TJ-so long since I ran the kubuntu installer I'm not sure if it uses ubiquity. I have a vague recall it doesn't22:29
daftykinsi think it would've been the same for that far back22:30
TJ-it looks like it does, via ubiquity-frontend-kde22:30
TJ-and this ubiquity-slideshow-kubuntu22:31
akikfound another report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/123152022:38
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1231520 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Desktop image sets LC_TIME based on country, not selected language" [Medium,Triaged]22:38
TJ-akik: from looking through the bug reports it looks like whatever developers are left touching ubiquity aren't addressing bugs22:51
TJ-The only major recent work was the subiquity for -server22:51
daftykinswhich is even worse xD22:51
TJ-rather like netplan ... seems like a typical Canonical trait ... initial rush of enthusiasm but no hard grind later22:52
naccTJ-: it's an interesting point22:54
naccI think there is a desire for 'thought leadership'22:55
naccbut it's not always clear to me that it's very well thought out (pun intended)22:55
TJ-yeah, after 13 years+ of Ubuntu development I find it easy to spot the trait22:55
akikTJ-: in the first window that the kubuntu installer opens, there's a selection "Please choose the language to use for the install process. This language will be the default language for this computer."22:55
TJ-akik: right... so is it ignoring that?22:56
naccTJ-: :)22:56
akikTJ-: i'll see after the install and report back22:56
TJ-nacc: what put me off Canonical was in the early days I was part of the ubuntu-kernel team, then without warning it became the canonical-kernel team me and others were shut out without warning or any kind of consultation. That happened in some other projects too as things were 'privatised'22:57
naccTJ-: interesting, I had no idea that happened22:59
naccbut I am also not surprised22:59
TJ-akik: looks like the issue goes back to Dapper and possibly earlier (2005/6) Bug #5741123:03
ubot5`bug 57411 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Installer should have option to install English system with e.g. European locale defaults" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/5741123:03
akikTJ-: /etc/default/locale has fi_FI.UTF-8 for other variables than LANG (this is kubuntu 14.04.5)23:03
akiklet's not go back that far :)23:03
akikso in my shell, the dates are in finnish23:03
TJ-akik: what I mean is, if you read that bug, it seems to be suggesting the requested fix is what you are now seeing!23:03
akikit hasn't ever been a big enough of a problem for me23:09
TJ-akik: comment #6 of Bug #34944 sounds sensible23:12
ubot5`bug 34944 in Ubuntu Express "language and locale detection" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3494423:12
akikfor simplicity, it should just follow what the user selects in the installer23:15
akiki'll try the install again23:24
akiki misspoke about the kubuntu iso boot up23:26
akiki changed the language and keyboard in grub23:26
akiknow i don't touch them23:26
akikok nothing changes, still fi_FI.UTF-823:34
akikto me it looks like a logic error, disregarding that first language selection23:36
TJ-might be worth looking at the latest changelog to see who's actually tagged as doing the changes and to get an idea of what is being done. Looks like mostly changing requirements changes rather than any active bug-fix maintenance type work23:40
guivercTJ-, (this is from support; but like this response - I'm often away and forget to check the time (my bad..)23:55
TJ-guiverc: I generally use tab-complete ad if it fails I know they're gone :)23:56
guivercme too - possibly i walked away after i started (and forgot)23:57
TJ-hehehe my biggest problem is I hit it too many times and send messages to the wrong person despite my eyes telling me it stopped on the nickname I wanted23:58
