basically the whole concept of tying this back to hard coded/generated blob is the problem.
There are those live in Germany, that speak/use english yet want different settings. There is no one size fits all. LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 or en_US LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 or en_US LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8 or en_US/ en_GB LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 or en_US LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 or en_US LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8 or some with decimal comma The whole concept of being able to select what you want is not possible under glibc blob seems like the whole process needs an overhaul. Infact even having settings tied to a language region is already "wrong" . This is root of this problem and its ambigous. MONETARY should allow, $, € or pound Decimal is either dot or comma Paper letter or A4 etc The are many people or use/need english in Europe, and have different format,paper,decimal format, time settings But need/want the name, telehpone, address of the country they are in. But want switch say decimal format for a demo.... I want to use decimal point, A4, €, 24 time, german date format, german address and name changing 1 setting and logging in and out is what a user expects. but what we have to do, is generate different blobs, and have a scripts that tweak plasma-localerc so we can change on setting. The process doesnt work in a user friendly way . and Having these settings in 10 places just adds to teh confusion and frustration for linux noobs like me. /etc/default/locale — Debian/Ubuntu system default, set by the installer - /etc/environment — PAM's generic env file, distro-agnostic - ~/.pam_environment — per-user PAM overrides, from the pam_env module - ~/.profile — traditional POSIX shell login vars - ~/.bashrc / ~/.bash_profile — bash-specific - /etc/locale.conf — systemd's way (used by systemd-localed) - ~/.config/plasma-localerc — KDE's own layer on top - ~/.config/locale.conf — some apps read this directly? - dconf/GSettings — GNOME's layer - /etc/locale.gen — the build list for generating the binary blobs basically a day lost trying to understand locale on kububtu and i still dont have a good working solution. But at least i understand it is a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850275 Title: English-Europe locale missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glibc/+bug/1850275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
