Thanks for your bugreport.

If you report a bug, please do not change it's status from UNCONFIRMED to NEW.

This usually means that there is something wrong with your locale settings.
Please run "language selector" (from the System/Adminstration menu of your gnome
desktop) and switch to your perfered language.

That should make the message go away (after a reboot at least). Please let me
know if that fixes the problem for you.

Cheers,
 Michael

Hi again, thanks for your reply Michael Vogt, i checked the language selector
and the settings are Arabic and English "Translation + Input" and system default
is English (United States). By the way i have the problem general font console
service fail to startup and i posted the bug here 15725, could this be related?
take care.

Best regards,

Ali Tawil

The "font console" problem is a different matter and does only affect the work
in a non graphical enviroment (the console when you switch away from X). It is
fixed in a more recent version of breezy btw.

Could you please paste me the output of "locale" when run in a terminal?
