[09:29] <sigv> Could someone please sponsor `gist` SRU for Focal in LP: #1940907 ? Tried asking in #ubuntu-motu but that seems to be abandoned.
[11:20] <KBar> I think Ubiquity has to contain translatable string for names of locations and cities. Currently, the "Where are you?" screen is inconsistent. If a user selects a language that has a layout outside of 8859 (Cyrillic in my case) and if these settings are meant to be persistent (bug #1945848 is preventing that), they won't be able to enter their location in their own language and its respective layout, assuming they're not connected
[11:20] <KBar> to the Internet, which is the case for the vast majority during installation.
[11:28] <seb128> you can always click on the map at least
[11:33] <KBar> A bit hard to pinpoint the exact location, especially if your city neighbors with another on a different timezone.
[12:10] <seb128> KBar, the rational you are describing is based on a keyboard selection bug and the non ability to click properly, also it's not important to pick the right city, that screen is to select a timezone, it's fine to click a town far away which is in the timezone you want instead
[12:29] <KBar> Maybe it's just my inner OCD but in any case the "Where are you?" screen is inconsistet.
[22:51] <mwhudson> vorlon: well HintsCollection is certainly a thing
[22:51] <mwhudson> i wonder if shoving all the hints into sqlite or something would be worth it
[22:51] <mwhudson> (a thing that did not expect 11k hints i guess)
[22:52] <vorlon> mwhudson: well, there are some measurable benefits from just using the hints less https://code.launchpad.net/~vorlon/britney/+git/britney2-ubuntu/+merge/409703
[22:52] <mwhudson> yeah that mp was what lead me to looking!
[22:53] <vorlon> I don't really want to engineer better scalability of hints, I want to get baseline testing implemented so that most of the hints go away :)
[22:54] <vorlon> (since the hints themselves are always manual and should be automated away for the mostpart)
[22:55] <mwhudson> yes fair
