Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: live-installer
I do a fresh install of Ubuntu in Chinese (TWN), do the updates, go to
Language Support, do the update there, and then install English from
there. I would expect then that the user could select English from the
login screen and have menus, etc., all come up in English. But that
isn't the case. The language selection at the bottom of the login screen
seems to have function at all. I can get English going by changing the
order of the listed languages in the list when I open the Language
Support, but then choosing Chinese at login causes the login to fail
(after a bit of blinking and stuff, one is back to the same login
screen). It seems to me that on 8.0 I didn't have this problem.
There is a workaround: install in English, then add Chinese language
support with these packages:
language-support-zh
language-pack-zh-hant-base
xfonts-intl-chinese
Doing this eliminates the problem with language selection at log in.
However, it shouldn't be necessary to do this.
I am not 100% sure that the problem is being caused by package live-
installer-launcher. Possibly the issue is with debconf or a shell script
that runs debconf. My level of expertise isn't high enough to know, but
I have confidence that the developers will be able to track down the
problem.
Thank you and best regards.
