selects wrong country if selected ll_CC not available

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto]

After installing ppc and selected dk as country, choose mirror points to au.archive.ubuntu.com.

It's just a minor glitch tho.

Please run espresso with ESPRESSO_DEBUG=1 set in the environment and send me the resulting /var/log/installer/espresso. Make sure to use a throwaway password or to remove the password from the log file.

espresso is selecting the wrong country, probably because the country you selected isn't in the selection list for the language you selected so localechooser is getting a bit confused.

That "au" mirror is gonna be busy :) Confirming with live installer 20060518, English/Switzerland.

It also set locale to en_AU.UTF-8 for instead of en_DK.UTF-8 for language: English and location: Denmark.

[Christian Tschabuschnig (tschaboo)]

i originally posted a duplicate of this bug (#47943) and i just want to add, that i also chose english (and not german) as language. it didn't seem relevant to me at first, but since everyone else here also chose english instead of their native-language, this seems to be the problem, right?

Regarding the "locale" which might be wrong on my system as well: Should I change it? Where?

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Correct - there's no en_AT* locale.

The locale is written to /etc/environment. Change it there and run 'locale-gen de_AT.UTF-8' (or whatever locale you choose) to generate the new locale. If you choose a different language, you'll also need to install the relevant language packs.

I've fixed this for the first Dapper point release. An upload to Edgy will come soon as well, upon which I'll close this bug.

ubiquity (1.0.13) dapper-updates; urgency=low

  * Don't require entering a full name (see
    http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/os-install-experiences-part-4-ubuntu).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Return None from location_from_point if point is None (thanks to Chris
      Moore for the idea; closes: Malone #48885).
  * KDE frontend:
    - Add slightly more paranoia in case getNearestCity returns None.
  * Don't show hw-detect/modprobe_error, and make it non-fatal (closes:
    Malone #48524).
  * Make it clear in the crash dialog that you should file a new bug, not
    attach your details to an existing bug.
  * Take a copy of the supplied choice map in set_keyboard_choices.
  * Save tracebacks from install.py and slurp them back into the traceback
    displayed if install.py exits non-zero.
  * Warn in the partitioner if you try to use XFS for /boot (closes: Malone
    #47848).
  * Warn in the partitioner if system filesystems are not reformatted
    (closes: Malone #47046).
  * Use os._exit() rather than sys.exit() in the apt install progress child
    process after forking, fixing a lot of strange "PROGRESS STOP" messages
    in /var/log/installer/syslog and bizarre debconf exceptions. See also
    Malone #53298.
  * Use 'replace' Unicode error handling when dealing with data coming from
    debconf (closes: Malone #44595, #48732).
  * Fix ubiquity/install/apt_error_install and
    ubiquity/install/apt_error_remove templates to be of type 'error'
    (closes: Malone #53258).
  * Install more defence against gparted/qtparted crashing (closes: Malone
    #47194, #48856).
  * If gparted or qtparted crashes, put up a dialog allowing the user to try
    again, return to autopartitioning, or quit the installer. This is a
    pretty awful hack, but hopefully we won't be using gparted/qtparted for
    all that much longer ...
  * Fix crash in KDE frontend while translating widgets (closes: Malone
    #53367).
  * When an error occurs with the install progress bar up, only return to
    autopartitioning if the partitioner is still running.
  * Turn DebconfInstallProgress upside-down so that the main process handles
    apt installation and the subprocess handles the translation of apt
    status messages into debconf protocol messages, rather than the other
    way round. The previous approach resulted in exceptions from apt ending
    up in the wrong process.
  * Silence apt errors while installing language packs, since we ignore them
    anyway.
  * Point apt at /target/var/lib/dpkg/status rather than
    /var/lib/dpkg/status (closes: Malone #47859).
  * Display grub-installer/install_to_xfs question if it's asked.
  * Fix get_filesystems() not to assume ext3 in quite so many situations.
  * Detect XFS for validation purposes even when it wasn't just formatted by
    gparted/qtparted (closes: Malone #53642).
  * Fix all mentions of gparted in the KDE frontend.
  * Leave existing newworld boot partitions alone when committing manual
    partitioning changes.
  * Always set mirror/country to the country selected on the timezone pag...

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

ubiquity (1.1.4) edgy; urgency=low

  * Write out the resume partition as a UUID if possible.
  * Always set mirror/country to the country selected on the timezone page,
    regardless of what localechooser does thereafter (closes: Malone
    #40107).
  * Adapt apt-setup wrapper to new apt-setup, which calls choose-mirror
    itself.
  * Tell localechooser to reprocess preseeding every time we run it.
  * debian/rules install target depends on build (closes: Malone #54503).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: apt-setup
    1:0.11ubuntu3, base-installer 1.63ubuntu3, partman-target 42ubuntu2.
