Now this is strange. I see in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log the entry
"Greeter sets language fr_FR", and it's not followed by any error
message. Still, as you say, Language is not set in
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer.
Furthermore, since Language isn't set in
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer, accountsservice should fall back
to the language in /etc/default/locale. So French (France) should be
pre-selected at login.
I wouldn't think that those warning messages in x-0-greeter.log are
related. (I have one of those warnings myself.)
OTOH I'm kind of lost. I tested with my own relatively clean Xubuntu
installation (it's Xubuntu you are using, right?), and it behaves as
expected in this respect.
You could of course try to manually edit
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer and add these lines:
Language=fr_FR
FormatsLocale=fr_FR.UTF-8

Title:
Language selection always falls back to English
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both
that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the
beginning of the upgrade).
Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and
Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the
language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login.
I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the
/etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language-
selector seems to force default English as default at each connection!
Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
