Country set to US no matter what country we choose at startup

[Nayar]

At installation, i choose my country (Mauritius). But after installation, the country is set to US.

What is the system country ? The first option of the country pulldown.



Your kdeglobals /1/ file ?
1) owned you by you, not by the root.
2) has the line /2/:

[Locale]
Country=mu

1. The kdeglobals = ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

2. If your system country is the Mauritius then there should not be the "Country=mu" line.

It is owned by me and Country = mu
My system country is US

During the installation of Kubuntu, a map of the world shows where you can select your country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ku...(Timezone).png

It appears that the country we choose there has no effect.

ah ok. I thought the installer sets the country. In fact it only sets the time zone.

However, in the description of the 2nd picture, it says "so that the system can use appropriate display conventions for your country".

But that second screen is for 'Time Zone', so it's the time display format for the selected geo-location that is being set, not the language.
