[kubuntu] ubiquity should use time zone chosen to store locale

[Christophe Olinger]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

During installation I tell ubiquity where I currently live through selecting my country when defining the time zone (for me Luxembourg). Right after installation I have to define this again through "Regional&Language > Locale" because for example my clock displays AM/PM, decimal separators are wrong, ....Can we use the time zone selection also as initial setting for the country? (I am using kde BTW)

Thanks

Interesting idea. Technically not too trivial though as we'd have to store the selected city on the system somehow, so we can pick it up when aligning the initial KDE workspace configuration. Additionally we'd have to find a way to map this information to KDE country values.

I am not sure this is a worthwhile effort, considering most people will install with their language from which we can map pretty closely to a country setup. So if I install with de_AT we will map that to Austria in KDE's country setting. I'll have to think a bit about this.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
