Title:
  Ubuntu 20.10 Live, debian-installer/language=de not working anymore

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  hi,

  i tried to PXE boot Ubuntu 20.10 Live from ubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.iso (2020-10-22 14:31)
  but i have issues with setting the locale by using bootoptions.

  using the following additional boot options to setup locale and keyboard layout:
  debian-installer/language=de
  console-setup/layoutcode=de
  keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=de
  keyboard-configuration/variant=German

  here the full pxe boot entries:
  KERNEL http://192.168.1.1/srv/nfs/ubuntu-x64/casper/vmlinuz
  INITRD http://192.168.1.1/srv/nfs/ubuntu-x64/casper/initrd
  APPEND nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/srv/nfs/ubuntu-x64 ro netboot=nfs ip=dhcp file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper -- debian-installer/language=de console-setup/layoutcode=de keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=de keyboard-configuration/variant=German

  after sucessfull PXE boot into Ubuntu 20.10 Live, the locale is set to
  aa_DJ.UTF-8

  LANG=aa_DJ.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=
  LC_CTYPE="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="aa_DJ.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=

  but the locale sould be set to de_DE.UTF-8 as expected (and as it was
  with ubuntu 20.04):

  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=
  LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=

  it was not an issue with Ubuntu 20.04 Live

  when i left out the boot options for locale settings at booting 20.10,
  the resulting locale is set to C.UTF-8

  LANG=C.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=
  LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="C.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=

  here the PXE server project i used: https://github.com/beta-tester
  /RPi-PXE-Server

  i think this is a bug.

  when looking to the casper.log, i can see the folowing lines:

  + '[' -e /conf/param.conf ]
  + /scripts/casper-bottom/14locales
  Begin: Setting up locales... ... grep: /root/usr/share/localechooser/languagelist: No such file or directory
  Generating locales (this might take a while)...
    aa_DJ.UTF-8... done
  Generation complete.
  done.

  looks like there is something missing.
