Comment 29 for bug 156913

Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron - mini-HOWTO get it working using the command shell:

[don't panic. it's just two files to be edited and two commands to be executed.]

0. after installing the packages, open a terminal.

1. either (if you are not familiar with vim) start gedit as root: sudo gedit
   or use vim as root: sudo vim [filename]

2. edit the file /var/lib/locales/supported.d/eo and add these lines:
eo.UTF-8 UTF-8
eo ISO-8859-3

3. edit the file /etc/gdm/locale.conf and change or add:
Esperanto() eo
Esperanto eo_XX.UTF-8

4. run locale-gen as root: sudo locale-gen

5. restart the gnome desktop manager (can also be done with a reboot):
   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

6. esperanto should now be selectable from the languages menu at the login screen.
