Gunnar, I've this bug affects me too. It took a long time to actually track down this "bug" as being the cause of the problem. Given that there are very few items in /etc/skel (.profile, .bash_logout, .bashrc); .profile makes the most sense as a decent test since many people change default shell and there's no guarantee on .bashrc/.bash_logout existing.
That said, I would think that users would benefit from simply changing the error message here. Instead of seeing "no access to HOME", maybe something more descriptive like "No access to ~/.profile or ~/.profile does not exist, so language not saved." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018621 Title: "Language for menus and windows" is not saved if .profile is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1018621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
