Hello Pantelis, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.10.25 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Title:
  ubiquity-kde codepage problem in Timezone map (Timezone.py)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When installing kubuntu using the Greek language, in the Timezone selection screen,
  there is a tooltip that shows the time and then supposedly "am" or "pm" but in Greek
  case it shows gibberish instead of "πμ" or "μμ".

  The reason is a hidden python str -> QString conversion since QString is latin-1 by
  default.

  One way to solve this problem is to add:

  QtCore.QTextCodec.setCodecForCStrings(QtCore.QText.CodecForName("utf8"))

  after

  class TimezoneMap(QtGui.QWidget):

  at

  ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/Timezone.py

  I would guess that this also affects other languages with non-latin alphabets
  (e.g., Russian). Please fix.
