We currently derive locales from language denotations, such as 'es_ES' or 'de', all the time. The main problem is that LANG represents regional formats in Oneiric, not language. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868149 Title: Need to set $LANG from .dmrc for backwards compatibility Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Triaged Bug description: This is fallout from bug 864618: In that bug we disabled the set_language() call as it invalidly sets $LANG to the "Language" property of accountsservice, which cannot work because $LANG is a locale and "Language" is only a language name. However, set_language() also sets the $LANG variable from ~/.dmrc, which we need for backwards compatibility and derivatives. So what should happen is that all the code which does the `locale -a` guesswork needs to be dropped, and only these parts remain which evaluate ~/.dmrc.
