Why en_US.UTF-8 locale is generated every time during liveCD/liveUSB startup? See these lines in less /var/log/casper.log :
Begin: Setting up locales... ... Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete. done. Locale generation uses a lot of memory and slowdowns startup. I think en_US.UTF-8 locale should be already generated in filesystem.squashfs and other locales should be generated during liveCD/liveUSB startup only if user chooses another language in syslinux. It seems Ubuntu 12.04 and newer releases already contains en_US and other en_* locales in filesystem.squashfs (they are generated during installation of language-pack-en-base package), but script casper- bottom/14locales doesn't check if locale isn't already generated - I think command "localedef --list-archive" should be used for checking if needed locale isn't already generated. ** Changed in: baltix Importance: Medium => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43706 Title: Excessive memory usage on live CD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/43706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
