Re: [Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ

 

Korean shows up in the language-selector panel, but not in the
region-selector panel. As a matter of fact, no other regions except US, UK,
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand show up in the region selector panel.
The region-selector does show "Other" button at the bottom, but pressing
the button has no effect: it does not give me choice of other regions. The
choice is limited to the 5 regions mentioned above. This behavior of
region-selector has not been corrected in the Beta version of 15.04. So I
reinstalled Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS (which is free from this bug) and
upgraded from there to 15.04. Now the GNOME control center panel is showing
the correct regional format of numbers, time, temperatures and metric
units. However, since I haven't clean-installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 from
scratch, I don't know what the experience of other Korean users who took
this route of installation might be.

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2. I set the system locale to
  Korean language, which worked okay. When I tried to set regional
  format (date, time, currency, number, metric, etc.), however, the
  options are only limited to 5 regions: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New
  Zealand. I do live in the US, but I want to set the regional format in
  Korean because that goes with the system language. I currently set the
  regional format to that of Canada because I am not familiar with US
  system of yards, feet and pounds. As you can see in the attached
  screenshot, the date format shown on the middle of the task bar is a
  mixture of English and Korean (Frankenstein-ish).

  As I browsed through the bug report launchpad site, I found this bug
  has a long history which dates back to Ubuntu version 9.04. I have
  installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS on my other computer and it does not
  have the same bug. I guess it has something to do with the newly
  introduced "systemd"?

  I would very much like to see this bug is fixed ASAP (at least before
  the release of 15.04 proper version). I love GNOME interface, but this
  bug annoys me. Regards.
