Public bug reported:
When Chinese (simplified or traditional) is selected on the startup menu
(isolinux, gfxboot) of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Desktop official Live CD
(tested on i386), once in GNOME, upon double-clicking on the the
Installer icon (ubiquity gtk_ui), it would take over 90 seconds until
the first welcome screen appears.
/var/log/syslog shows the following:
May 22 21:48:51 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: Ubiquity 1.8.7
May 22 21:48:56 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect
May 22 21:48:58 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: log-output -t ubiquity
fontconfig-voodoo --auto --force --quiet
May 22 21:50:26 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: switched to page stepLanguage
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Locale has been preseeded to
zh_CN
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set
languagechooser/language-name = 'Chinese (Simplified)'
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set

May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu localechooser: info: Set debian-installer/locale =
'zh_CN'
May 22 21:50:28 ubuntu ubiquity[7667]: switched to page stepLanguage
Note the 88-second gap between the fontconfig-voodoo run and the next
output? When preseeded with locales other than zh_CN or zh_TW, the gap
is only a few seconds.
Well, the problem is not with fontconfig-voodoo, but further down on
line 477: self.live_installer.show() in customize_installer() in
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py in ubiquity-frontend-gtk
(1.8.7). So, does it means it has something to do with Python GTK+ and
Glade? But other Glade applications exhibit no such delay as far as I
know.
As far as I know, this only affects the GTK+ frontend and not the KDE
frontend in Kubuntu.
Thanks,
Anthony
