by the way, that method of modifying ~/.profile breaks its contents since it replaces _all_ occurences of that export entries.
This makes it impossible to share .profile files between different computers with different language settings, even if it contains case- instructions for the different computers. It even destroys the old settings, and loss of data is usually to be considered as a severe and important bug. Automatically modifying user-written shell scripts is an absolute no-go and really broken by design. This design decision should have never been made. There's lots of better files for doing that. Files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d read things like ~/.gnomerc or ~/.xsessionrc which would be much better (or even use a specific file for language settings), but under all circumstances keep fingers from ~/.profile. Even worse, this affects the settings if someone is logging in through ssh or with other desktops. This is not just bad design, this is really a bug. regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/866062 Title: SetLanguage(): Write ~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/866062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
