Description of problem: On Fedora 8 test 3 + updates as of October 11, 2007: After a default installation of Fedora, the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains: LANG="ro_RO.UTF_8" (INCORRECT !) instead of LANG="ro_RO.UTF-8" (CORRECT ) This leads to scrambled Romanian characters during boot (initialization scripts) and other various problems around the whole system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-language-1.2.11-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform a default installation of Fedora 8 test 3 2. During installation, choose "Romanian" as language and "ro_win" as keyboard. 3. Perform online updates as of October 11, 2007. 4. After boot, observe that Romanian characters during initialization scripts and in other parts of the system are scrambled. 5. Open /etc/sysconfig/i18n with a text editor: it contains LANG="ro_RO.UTF_8" instead of LANG="ro_RO.UTF-8". Actual results: /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains LANG="ro_RO.UTF_8" when the system is configured for Romanian language. Expected results: /etc/sysconfig/i18n should contain LANG="ro_RO.UTF-8" whenever UTF-8 is used for Romanian language. Additional info:
I think this bug is the bug of anaconda. I tested to change to Romanian language with system-config-language, it is OK, and /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains LANG="ro_RO.UTF-8". During installation and choosing the language, system-config-language isn't installed and can not be used. Anaconda is responsible for choosing the language during installation.
Thanks very much ! Răzvan
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
