Locale bug: Language to english and other locale from pt causes gnome shell not to load

[i30817]

Changing the /etc/default/locale allowed it to boot. However this looks very bad since i installed from the Daily live Ubuntu GNOME cd from root and hadn't even logged in yet, much less changed the locale settings.

The file was like this:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT"
LC_TIME="pt_PT"
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT"
LC_PAPER="pt_PT"
LC_NAME="pt_PT"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT"

I changed it to this:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT.UTF-8"

And it no longer crashed, but i'm not sure it's correct like that. (edit: it isn't, causes errors in other apps; changing all of them -except LANGUAGE- to en_US.UTF-8 is better)

Oh yeah, changing the file that way changed my data on the clock to english style, so it's probably not correct (LC_TIME="pt_PT.UTF-8") and defaults to english, unless the LANG overrides it. Thing is, that's what i want, a english install with a portuguese keyboard.

Yeah, checking it out now, setting it like i did causes problems on other programs.... but at least it allows me to login.

Changed all the pt_PT to en_US.UTF-8 also works (keyboard is still pt) and doesn't seem to have additional problems.

This was caused by a bug in ubqiuity, that was fixed shortly after the beta 2 release.

For anyone that installed from beta 2 or an earlier daily, then the best thing to do it just edit /etc/default/locale to correct entries by adding UTF-8.
