Public bug reported: Hi,
I am having a hard time trying to configure my system locales. In Debian, I just need to update /etc/locale.gen and do locale-gen, and I'm done. However I found such tactics no longer works under Ubuntu. So I did some search, and followed the Locale - Community Ubuntu Documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale However, that didn't get me anywhere either:. . . Long story short, the issue really bog down to that Unbuntu doesn't have a proper default for locale-gen. Ref: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/localeconf/+question/130696 > locale-gen --purge should do the job. Oh, yep. That works like a charm. In Debian, the purge is by default, which really makes sense -- e.g., when I list 5 locales as my locales, I want that 5, and don't want any legacies get into my way. When I remove locales from the config file, I want them to be removed from the system locales as well. Hope that can be fixed in the future.
