Russian locale installation issue

[Hanzo]

Hi to all.

Just FYI.
While installing LL (ver. 2.4 x32 or/and ver. 3.2 x64) with Russian language, installation failing on the last steps.

Don't remember exact error. Something generic. And surely before GRUB installation as system not booting after this failure.
Same hardware, same USB installer - successful installation with en-US locale.
I'm writing now from this laptop.
DELL VOSTRO 1500.

Will try now to change locale to ru-RU and see what happens.

Install with US English, then change to Russian after first boot.

Jerry,
If you read my first post, it's exactly what I did

Right now trying to reproduce the BUG as ruined the system while tried to install teamviewer and pressed on (y) to remove half of the system

Jerry,

I did read your message.

Your screenshot shows language attempt during installation. My reply states you have to do this after first boot.

Jerry,

Updated my last post with log.
IMHO, if you're giving possibility to install OS on LANG other than English, you have to support it.
Otherwise - just remove it from installation script.
No offense.

I gave you the log.
If you want - I can help you to debug it.

Anyway...  Your forum. Your distro. I'm just a user

[valtam]

No offense taken. You're welcome to help debug it.

[Hanzo]

You're welcome to help debug it.

What can I do in order to help?
