I commented before I saw the previous reply; I'll reply to that now. The "grep cow" approach breaks the LTSP package and other software that uses a COW root. To check for casper, please `grep -w boot=casper /proc/cmdline` or something casper-specific. In schools, we sometimes have students of various nationalities. They're not frequent enough to install whole langpacks for them, but they are frequent enough to configure locales for them (locale-gen). I do not see any reason to keep the Ubuntu-specific 04_language_handling.patch, when we know that it's causing issues and we do not know its benefit.

Btw, lightdm doesn't set LANGUAGE at all in Debian; it only sets LANG, like GDM, and everything works fine.

Not sure why you would want to uninstall the language packs for a language you have configured. You are not supposed to do that. Please use "Language Support" to manage your languages. This special thing in LightDM is there for a reason (even if I don't remember the reason exactly). I'm not ready to propose something which might have adverse side effects. Attached please find a debdiff which I think fixes it in live sessions. The real test can be done only after the new version of lightdm has reached the daily build ISOs.

I mean that if, on a normal 20.04 installation, I uninstall the el langpack, then 1) If I'm using GDM, universe apps show Greek, 2) If I'm using LightDM, universe apps show English (this one regressed in 19.10). If we're modifying LightDM, I suggest to modify LightDM to not set LANGUAGE at all, not just in live CDs.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1861481] Re: language-options causes live CD sessions to be untranslated
Because the translations of all the "main" packages (and a few others) are brought by the language packs, and also MATE users most likely use some "main" packages. He is simply supposed to have the language packs for his language installed. That's how Ubuntu including the flavors has been designed for many cycles. Since we are close to the release of an LTS, I want to narrow the fix to only affect where it matters, i.e. the live sessions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.
