Description Raphael Groner 2024-09-18 05:20:43 UTC
Created attachment 2047319 [details]
Screenshot of missing localectl.

Description of problem:
Downstreaming report.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-workspace 6.1.4

How reproducible:
yes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to system settings > Regional settings > Region & language
2. Modify (language) > Change language > Vietnamese/British English
3. Apply

Actual results:
Error about missing localectl. Execution fails.

Expected results:
localectl is preinstalled in live image and any locale can get applied successfully. New live build needed for respin as iso file or simple documentation about getting interim packages from manual download after live booted. Might be worth a test case for OpenQA.

Comment 1 Raphael Groner 2024-09-18 05:31:26 UTC
GLIBC_LOCALE_PREGENERATED as in the other bug does not help. Please try a new build with latest commits aka at least version 6.1.5 as suggested in upstream issue.
