We (Ubuntu-gr - Greece) are facing an issue that we believe is related to the above change in the code. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1158750 Specifically, what happens is that currently the code sets (by mistake) the locale to 'el_GR' instead of 'el_GR.UTF-8' (or

Hi again, Colin! Yeah, right now I'm inclined to keep it simple. ;-) libpaper1.config seems to not be installed by the package - maybe an installer exclusive thing? I have proposed a tiny script locale2papersize, similar to the shell script attached here, and it's aimed to be used by

Using the papersize command instead of editing /etc/papersize directly may be an option. But please note that the main point with the attached script is to point at a way to go from locale to papersize. It makes sense IMO to use the locale info that is available. Maybe that's what you do in the

Let me first comment on the discussion about locale settings in the installer. I'm inclined to think that the installer UI is not really sufficient as a base for setting all the locale categories. You are asked about the time zone, and that leads me to assume that my answer affects /etc/timezone
