Bug 20649

Setting release blocker as this should really work.

Priority: Normal => release_blocker
Keywords: (none) => 6RC

After reboot the country cannot be changed to The Netherlands (name is missing).
Some other countries do not appear either (e.g. Israel, Slovenia) which were missing a few years back as well !?!?

Please attach /root/drakx/report.bug.xz from that install, Dick

And _save_ that file somewhere in case this bug report gets lost (there is a nasty character encoding bug which might lead to the Bugzilla database being reverted to a version from last week).

Where and how exactly did you try to change the country?

In localedrake within mcc

Ok, so locales-nl wasn't installed, yet, when you reached the summary step, because you were doing an en_GB install.

Maybe installing locales-nl failed because of:

       '* urpmi error: unable to access medium "Core Release".'

Changing the assignee, because I doubt the package was missing from the iso if the problem was that accessing "Core Release" was impossible.

To clarify I only chose *language* en_GB and need country NL

Correct.

And after installing locales-nl, does it then become visible?
The language isn't selectable before installing the locale, the same is probably true for the country. Belgium is an exception, iiuc because of the many native English speakers who reside in Brussels (no one foresaw the Brexit)

Btw, I had a look inside the iso, (so not just at the .idx file), and it really contains locales-nl-2.22-5.mga6.x86_64.rpm

How can you ask this? The bug reports that it cannot be installed in effect....

It couldn't be installed in the Summary step, I haven't read that after install and reboot it is still impossible to install it..... is it?

I asked you to install it because of your problem with localedrake in MCC.

Yes I wrote that in comment #2

Please install it with rpmdrake or with
   # urpmi locales-nl

(or with dnf or with dnfdragora)

The install was done to discover any bugs ;))

I've moved this bug report to bug 20657 because all the comments about the 2nd issue turned this report into a mess.

For the 2nd issue we probably need to improve our documentation (we don't tell that to select a country in localedrake a matching locales-* needs to be installed). Unless localedrake can become smarter, list all countries and pull in the matching locales* if one matching the selected country is missing.

(An enhancement request might already exist for that)

I would like to make something clear.
If you install Mageia in English (for example) and after that, install the package locales-fr (for example), you can go into "MCC/System/Manage localization for your system" and check French, but your system doesn't turn into French. Only the desktop is French but Dolphin, MCC, konsole, ... are still in English.
If you go in Plasma "System Settings/Regional Settings/Language", you can see that under "Available Languages" French isn't even present.
So, I don't think you can change the installed language from the summary step.

I was not trying to change the language, only setting the location correctly for the first time after choosing language en_GB at the start of install. This way has worked during hundreds of times that I installed Mageia (and earlier) and normally works every time. It only failed with this 64 bits classical iso, succeeded with 32 bits one!
