Bug Description

When booting the server-live image without splash, I am seeing en_US.UTF-8 being generated on boot. I guess this may be a cloud-init thing. We should avoid generating locales at boot; any locales we require should be pregenerated, and we should likely default to C.UTF-8 instead of en_US.UTF-8.

Turns out this is an inherited chroot include, live-build/ubuntu-touch/includes.chroot/etc/default/locale. We should not set en_US.UTF-8 here.

I retract that. It's not in livecd-rootfs at all; the file is not in the squashfs. I am still tracking down where this comes from.

casper:

if [ -z "${locale}" ]; then
    # Set a default one
    locale=en_US.UTF-8
    set_locale="true"
