Description of problem: just installed system by selecting Punjabi (Indic language (pa_IN)), without Gnome/KDE. while system rebooted (after installation), firstboot run in pa_IN locale, which is not working on text mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firstboot-1.106-1.fc11 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install with indic langauge (hi_IN or *_IN) without gnome or kde destkop 2. reboot system 3. firstboot will ask for configuration (in text mode) Actual results: it is running in Punjabi Expected results: it should be in English if run in text mode Additional info:
firstboot just runs setup when in the text mode interface.
thanks for report, I can reproduce this. In konsole/gnome-terminal it works, but in terminal it's broken. Problem is with terminal and utf-8 encoding. Can you use any other encoding for pa_IN different than utf-8? > it should be in English if run in text mode it's not that simple, there is a lot of languages using mostly ascii characters and only a few special ones. Changing to english for them would be regression.

Changing to english for them would be regression. sorry, but I mean only for Indic languages (which I mention above) all *_IN anaconda is doing same (in text mode, using English for Indic languages) Hope this will help Thanks
could you please test this packages if it works for you? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1479372 what I've changed: if locale is *_IN and if terminal is /dev/tty* use en_US as locale I've changed this only for terminal /dev/tty* because for virtual terminal /dev/pts/* (konsole, gnome-terminal,...) it seems working
working on it, update result tomorrow. sorry for late..
Sorry but I lost rpms from build server. Can you please provide somewhere?

Thanks Michal, it is *fixed* for all Indian (*_IN) language with above pacakge. I am searching for more languages, which can't be supported in text more, but yet not sure [like CJK, Thai etc]. Open new bug for those if required. Thanks for fix
