--------------- android-tools (4.2.2+git20130218-3ubuntu23) trusty; urgency=medium * Start adbd under a PAM session, such that it has the default system locale and environmental variables set. (LP: #1267117) -- Dimitri John Ledkov <x...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:57:22 +0100 ** Changed in: android-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Phonedations bugs, which is subscribed to android-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267117 Title: adbd does not use pam_env Status in “android-tools” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When working with ubuntu-touch the following environment differences are observed: - login via ssh, locale is set - login via tty/serial, locale is set - login adb shell, locale is not set in fact none of the /etc/environment is sourced/exported, which indicates that PAM environment is not used. I believe adbd should be treated as a full-fledged login-like PAM session, such that e.g. adb shell has correct locale set, etc. As a local hack, I've now used: # echo exec su - -c adbd > /etc/init/android-tools-adbd.override such that, at least, adb shell not has all PAM environment variables available. Please note at the moment we are growing a number of work-arounds across smoke tests runners, and the autopilot tests which workaround the facts that environment across adb shell is incomplete.
