Ubuquity installs en-US instead of en-AU when Australia is selected

[Russell Phillips]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick (i386-desktop beta)

1. Selected "English" as language on "Welcome" page
2. Selected "Australia/Melbourne" as location on "Where Are You?" page
3. Selected USA as keyboard layout on "Keyboard Layout" page

Australia uses a USA keyboard layout (mainly because our currency is also "dollars"). It does not have its own. Ubiquity installed the en-US localisation where it should have installed en-AU. It appears that it is basing its localisation assumptions on the keyboard layout, where it should be paying more attention to the location that was selected on the previous page.

I have attached screenshots of the options selected in ubiquity, and screenshots from gnome-language-selector in the resultant install.

I believe this is fixed in ubiquity 2.3.19. Can you please try again with today's daily-live CD (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live ) and let us know whether or not it is in fact fixed?

Thanks a bunch!

I just tried it on the 20100920 live CD, and the problem still exists.

Is there a chance that:
a) Language-support is reporting the wrong language (is there another way to verify it)?
b) This setting has been stored in my local user profile (retained during reinstall - can it be reset)?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 641924

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
