Let me first comment on the discussion about locale settings in the installer. I'm inclined to think that the installer UI is not really sufficient as a base for setting all the locale categories. You are asked about the time zone, and that leads me to assume that my answer affects /etc/timezone and such stuff. Consequently I have thought that the installer typically sets LANG based on the language choice, while language-selector is meant to be used afterwards if needed to complete the locale. However, when I mentioned this at bug 1035498, Steve Langasek objected.
Different ways to state the default paper size seem to cause quite some confusion; see for instance bug 393818. I don't know to which extent various apps care about LC_PAPER directly. LibreOffice seems to use /etc/papersize and ignore LC_PAPER. However, it would be reasonable IMO that the default paper size is derived from the paper height and width in the LC_PAPER locale (which info ought to be possible to access via nl_langinfo). Irrespective of how the paper size issue is dealt with in the installer, I can think that it should be possible to change /etc/papersize afterwards from the desktop. One thought is that when regional formats are changed system-wide via language-selector, /etc/papersize is updated accordingly. That way user specific settings of LC_PAPER would still be ignored, but it would probably be a step in the right direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094872 Title: Installation information cause letter format instead of DIN A4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1094872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
