> Right, they are not loaded by Language Support because it grabs the old value from something called accountsservice. So you kind of mess it up if you change those variables in ~/.pam_environment manually.
Do you know how to do that with terminal commands so it can be scripted? > But if you check it with the locale command, you'll find that the Canadian locales are in effect. Thanks, it is working! It possible to manually edit ~/.pam_environment, it will show up in `locale` after you have signed out and signed back in. However, you don't know 100% what is added by the gnome-language- selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list. Therefore a command line option to change the user locale would be useful. > I have to ask: What is it you try to actually achieve? I'm trying to change the locale from the command line so distros can be configured with scripts, because GUIs are inconvenient when you are evaluating a lot of distros in virt-manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2035212 Title: [Feature request]: Command line option Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The settings for gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list, are stored in ~/.pam_environment # How is it possible to make the DE reload the new values from ~/.pam_environment So it's possible to modify ~/.pam_environment with a script.
