This workaround/fix that was mentioned here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/178402/comments/28) seems to have solved the issue for the time being for me.
Upgrading my EeePC resulted in this problem, which was fixed by updating: LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8:en" in the /etc/default/locale file. This file has both LANG and LANGUAGE values assigned in the file. I did *not* have this problem on my MacBook, which only has: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" in the /etc/default/locale file. Both of these machines are running with the latest available updates as of Fri Feb 22, 2008. -- [hardy] missing language error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
