Title:
language selection not preserved accross upgrades (need some .dmrc
migration code)
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
After a natty->oneiric upgrade and the switch from gdm to lightdm the
language settings on login are not remembered.
The user account in question had "german" as the default language, the .dmrc
settings are:
"""
[Desktop]
Language=de
Session=ubuntu
"""
However when I log into the system I get english locales and shows that
LANGUAGE is not set.
What makes this bug worse is that the language can no longer be set in the
greeter. This means that a user
who does not speak english is lost. Finding language-selector and use the
drag-n-drop (with a explaination how
it works in english and a non-intutive UI) is difficult.
The system itself is a english default and english install, its just this
particular user that requires a german
environment.
I did reproduce this bug in a stock natty->oneiric upgrade, to reproduce, set
userlanguage in gdm to "german", login,
upgrade, login again -> english desktop.
