RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Micah Abbott 2015-06-25 15:10:39 UTC 
The current RHEL Atomic Host installer presents the user a list of languages to select that can be used for the install process.  This also causes the default locale to be set on the system after the install.

Per BZ1186757, RHEL Atomic Host only supports the en_US.UTF-8, so any other locale/language that is chosen during the install process will cause errors on system after the install is completed.

I believe the installer should be modified so that no language selection is possible and it defaults to the supported locale of en_US.UTF-8.
Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2015-08-06 10:11:53 UTC 
Colin,
shouldn't we move this one to anaconda ?
Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2015-10-01 08:00:44 UTC 
This is still valid with latest 7.2 ISO.

This is verified with the 0912.0 Atomic build.

Comment 13 Jonathan Lebon 2016-11-15 21:26:51 UTC 
This is going to have to be reverted once supported locales are added back into RHELAH trees, as discussed in #1186757. Will open an RHBZ once that happens.

Well, the single language mode that has been implemented for this can is not on by default and needs to be enabled by the inst.singlelang boot option. So just dropping usage of the inst.singlelang boot option on the Atomic Host side should be enough.

AFAIK, no inst.singlelang boot options are used. I thought this worked by being unconditionally enabled on RHELAH?

It seems like it's just a matter of reverting that hunk only, right? I can submit the PR when the time is right if that's the case. :)

Oh, right - forgot about that.
