I installed the language-selector-{gnome,common} 0.180.1 and accountsservice 0.6.42-0ubuntu3.1 packages from artful-proposed.
As regards language-selector I verified the test case in the bug description. As regards accountsservice, these steps show that it now works as expected: 1. $ cat ~/.pam_environment | grep LANGUAGE LANGUAGE DEFAULT=de_DE:sv:en 2. Changing the language to "Swedish" from Settings -> Region & Language results in: $ cat ~/.pam_environment | grep LANGUAGE LANGUAGE DEFAULT=sv:de_DE:en i.e. the language priority list is maintained instead of replaced with just "sv:en". ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-artful ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-artful -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722151 Title: Incorrect syntax when writing to ~/.pam_environment Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in accountsservice source package in Artful: Fix Committed Status in language-selector source package in Artful: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] When the syntax for the entries in ~/.pam_environment was changed, the GUI in language-selector-gnome for maintaining the language priority list was broken since language-selector-gnome reads from ~/.pam_environment. The language-selector upload to artful makes language-selector-gnome handle both the old and the new syntax correctly. An additional similar change to accountsservice (the update-langlist script) is needed; hence also an accountsservice upload to artful. [Test Case] * Log in to an "Ubuntu on Xorg" session. * Open Language Support and find that it appears as if you can only set one item before the "English" item in the language list. With the new version, it works as expected again. [Regression Potential] Low. This is necessary to fix the regression caused by the change in accountsservice. [Original description] While investigating bug #1662031, I found out that /usr/share /language-tools/save-to-pam-env writes to ~/.pam_environment using an incorrect syntax: "VARIABLE=value" on each line. The expected syntax is "VARIABLE [DEFAULT=[value]] [OVERRIDE=[value]]" (man pam_env.conf).
