Users using es_CU (maybe other locales too, but it's the only bug reported) can't use this lens.

[Test Case]

[Regression Potential]
Unlikely to cause regressions

########

When we install Ubuntu 12.04 in Cuba we use Cuba as our location during the install process, but once installed the system, we log in it and the first thing we receive is an error message that tell us that Ubuntu has found an error and we need to restart the computer, but if we expand the report we can see that the trouble is in Unity video lens.

So I launched unity video lens from the terminal:

python /usr/lib/unity-lens-video/unity-lens-video

and it prints this message:
ValueError: unknown locale: es_CU

the problem is that in unity-lense-video code there is a step that try to recognize de best language for the actual user and it seems that ES_CU language is not found. Because of this error everyone that has installed Ubuntu 12.04 and slected Cuba as country should have received this message too.

I found a solution for me, I edited my user settings, so I changed my language to English from EE.UU, then I restarted the computer and when I login again Unity viodeo lens works fine. Then I changed my language again to Spanish form Spain, and my Video lens works fine, so the problem is with the language ES_CU, I think that this language has not been created yet and this is the cause of this problem.

Steps to see the bug:
1- Install Ubuntu and select Cuba as your country in the installation process.
2- Once installed go to the video lens, It should not work fine.

Greetings, me. Sorry about my English, I just want to tell you what is happening on my country when we install Ubuntu 12.04.

Thank you for your report.
I'm investigating the issue.

I have added to more images describing the problem.

[Rafael Jacobo Hidalgo Urbino (rjhidalgo-s)]

I also have in /etc/default/locale this:
LANG="es_CU"
LANGUAGE="es_CU:es"
LC_NUMERIC="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_CU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_CU.UTF-8"

I think that es_CU language does not exist in Linux, This could also be a problem in the Ubuntu installer.

Could you please test an update to see if it's fixed?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:davidc3/dev
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Log out / Log in

If it works for you, it will then land for every users.

Hello Rafael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity-lens-video into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you try if the update works for you?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Some information about how you tested the package in -proposed would be helpful to confirm that the verification was really done.

Or if someone else wants to test it and report how they did it ...

Hi everybody, now it works perfectly. I made this test:

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in new system selecting Cuba as my country and the Spanish languague, when I loged in I saw the message that say that Ubuntu found an error and should be restarted, the problem is in the video lens as expected, then I updated all my system including the video-lens package, then I logout and login again and everything work perfect.
This was corrected, thanks a lot for your work, I and a lot of people in Cuba too appreciate you .

Sorry for the time to answer, I didn't have a PC for installing a new Ubuntu, so I had to reinstall my personal PC to test this.

I have another bug but I do not know where to submit it, the problem is that our personal Video folder in Ubuntu is called "Vídeo", but in Cuba we pronounce and write it as "Video" not "Vídeo", problem is in the "i", People in Spain pronounce Vídeo, but that is in Spain not in Cuba, so I think that if we install Ubuntu and select Cuba as our country during the install process our video folder should be renamed to Video. Where can I report this bug ?
