The problem is that accountsservice's Language property says "en_GB", which is wrong.
For oneiric, could we please drop all the `locale -a` stuff and asking accountsservice for the locale? accountsservice already writes the selected language into ~/.profile, so simply using that ought to be enough, and has worked fine with gdm as well. So for applications which DO use accountsservice (language-selector) the locale is already set by ~/.profile. For derivatives without a langugage selector which don't use accountsservice, there is no point asking it either. Note that for P onwards accountsservice will change ~/.pam_environment instead (bug 866062), but that's merely cleanup and not directly related to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864618 Title: UTF-8 locale no longer set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/864618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
