Right, understood. The installer tried to set reasonable locales based on the selections you made. > It sounds like something isn't working properly during the install. It works as expected. But there is an inconsistency under the hood: While the UIs you encounter after the installation only show language options which represent translations, the installer does not care about that. So in your case the installer set en_NZ.UTF-8 everywhere. But since there are no en_NZ translations, that locale is ignored with respect to the display language. In case of Xubuntu, with lightdm-gtk-greeter, you instantly are enforced to select one of the available translations, and the locale is altered accordingly. So please focus on the actual behavior of your desktop. Are you encountering a real problem? I don't think you are. What I think you should do is asking yourself which of the available translations are closest to the English you speak in NZ, and select that language. Based on your geographical location I would suspect it's en_AU, but really don't know. > Do I need to report a new bug? No need to. If you can convince me that there is a problem which needs to be fixed, I'll be happy to open this bug report again. But I don't think you can. ;) -- 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.
