[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
Lars, thanks for investigating. I'm pretty sure the "resolved downstream" status is referring to this bug being marked as "Won't Fix" by Herald above. The patching mentioned is no longer there, so it's definitely not a Kubuntu issue. Based on that, and that this bug was initially filed against Kubuntu 14.04 (which used Plasma 4 and an *entirely different codebase*), I'm going to close this bug as "Won't Fix". What we need here is an entirely new bug report. While this bug report may be related, it's not the same bug since it's no longer working with the same code. Please type "ubuntu-bug kde-runtime" in a terminal window and follow the instructions to file a new bug, then please file a new bug upstream at https://bugs.kde.org to alert the upstream as well. Part of bug reporting is having the willingness to put in work to help report it to the right place(s) to help resolve the issue, so if you are not willing to do that, please do not report a new bug and please do not comment on this one. ** Changed in: kde-runtime (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu.

[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
I appreciate a lot the work done by the (K)Ubuntu team, this is why I was here to try to help. I am a plain simple KUbuntu user, just like many others. I use KUbuntu, not KDE alone nor Debian. I encountered a bug and I tried to reproduce it in order to report it properly on (K)Ubuntu bug tracking. A report matching my situation was already there, so I joined the crowd. I have no idea whether this is a bug coming from KUbuntu, KDE, Debian, GnuLibC or the kernel: I am not a dev at (K)Ubuntu nor a (re)packager, just a miserable simple user (MSU). Someone else, the original triager, has more knowledge than I have (quite easy) and knows/understands/checks that this is a real bug that's not been introduced by (K)Ubuntu itself but by "someone else"(tm), aka an "upstream" package. So the bug needs to be filed upstream, not here. Cool. As the best knowledge about the bug is in the original triager heads, he/she asks the MSU to file the bug upstream. So the MSU goes upstream, registers a new user (he won't even likely need any more) and goes through the process of the bug filing. By starting with a fresh new installation. This means that the subsequent bug triaging steps are in the MSU hands, which has much less knowledge than the original triager. Long story shorter, it takes more time and resources by the MSU and by the upstream developer team to handle the bug, just to avoid the original triager a little bit more work: report the bug upstream with all the details she/he already has got. Does this make any sense? Does this make any sense after 7+ years?

[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
My job is not to report every bug that lands here upstream, but to direct those reporting the bug where to properly report it. The package in this case is kde-runtime and can be found at https://bugs.kde.org. However, I did notice that Herald Sitter (apachelogger), who *is* a KDE dev, marked this bug as "Won't Fix" initially, saying "Invalid country language combinations lead to invalid locales.". Therefore, this might get the same treatment upstream. If that's the case, then this bug will be marked accordingly, or perhaps even as "Opinion" since it leads to a broader discussion but wouldn't be considered a bug anymore. In order to know that, though, the bug needs to be reported upstream at the link I posted in the previous paragraph and then the bug link needs to be posted here. At that point, Launchpad has a mechanism to automatically "watch" that bug report and update this one with the status of that one. I hope that makes sense. Basically, it remains tracked here (therefore still our problem) but also gets the attention of the people who can triage and fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu.

[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
Hi Erich, thanks for supervising the bug reporting here. I think everyone (except a few..) appreciate people like you who take the time out of their day to put effort towards maintain a project like this. :) Regarding the bug: It has been outlined pretty clearly what needs to be done in order for this bug to appear. Install a fresh copy of (in this case) Kubuntu, and change the Region (under System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats -> Region) from English to something else, and your locale breaks immediately. In my case, the variables "LC_ALL", "LC_CTYPE" and "LC_MESSAGE" were unset in the /etc/default/locale file, resulting in a lot of program errors (Anki reported a broken UTF-8 and would crash before being able to start in my case). I could report this bug upstream if you don't want to do that or if that's not your "job"/task, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Uqbar, Your tone is not welcome here. I'm a bug supervisor here, and have determined it's an upstream bug. It's not a matter of changing it "to the desk of other devs", but to make sure it's reported properly. My logic here: there's no reason to believe this is an Ubuntu/Kubuntu- only bug since there are no modifications to the source code for this, meaning it's an upstream KDE bug. Contrary to your belief, the teams here don't do all of the development. Ubuntu is a "distribution" of software, not a "development" of software. So, please, report this upstream and report the bug number back here. I can't reproduce because I don't know what I'm looking for. And even if I did, I wouldn't know how to fix it because I'm a packager, much like a majority of those who work on this distribution (and all volunteer, mind you, meaning NOT PAID). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu.

[Ubuntustudio-bugs] [Bug 1322968] Re: Changing country leads to invalid locale
Apparently still not fixed, just happened to me with a fresh install of kubuntu 21.04. I live in germany and want my system language to be english. Changing the language from American English to British English, manually adding "LC_ALL", "LC_CTYPE" and "LC_MESSAGE" to the /etc/default/locale file, running sudo update-locale and sudo locale-gen and then restarting the pc fixed the issue. For me, this bug prevented Anki from launching (Error: "Anki needs an UTF-8 locale"). Pretty minor in comparison to what others are experiencing but still.
