[Bug 583911] [NEW] bad flag alias index & bad flag vector alias errors

2010-05-21 Thread Don Schoeman
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit This problem most probably is not only related to gedit but I noticed it in gedit first. When a file is saved to harddrive, gedit seems to hang for a few seconds (this happens even when saving very small text files). When running gedit from the ter

I'm not sure that dumping the whole dmesg result would provide any help, I only noticed some similar non-informational error messages at the end of the dmesg result: [ 56.296848] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [ 68.468828] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 There is nothing

First of all, the locale file in question confuses people because the comments are incorrect. I think it may have been updated at some point and the comments weren't updated. That being said, officially, the decimal seperator for South Africa is actually a comma and not a full stop, for example th

Just to amend my previous post again, perhaps I shouldn't say that every South African uses the decimal point, but certainly the majority does, including the government themselves. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https:

I don't think there is a source that will support my claim except that every South African uses the decimal point for currency and numeric values, even on legal documents. There is a government editorial style guide which the Ubuntu team apparently followed here (this document does not different
