This is really a bug which should be fixed in the installer (bug #1646260). Awaiting the installer fix, this proposed upload prevents that Language Support crashes. [Test Case] 1. Make sure that no ~/.xinputrc file is present. 2. Start Language Support from terminal using this command: LANG=en_IL gnome-language-selector -> Find that you have reproduced the crash. 3. Install language-selector-gnome and language-selector-common from bionic-proposed and repeat step 2. -> Language Support starts without crashing. [Regression Potential] None. [Original description] When I click on Language Support from the applications menu, it starts, shows a progress bar, and then immediately quits. I do not see the crash report window open (Apport), but something seems to crash. Here is what is appended to the syslog when the phenomenon happens: May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: Traceback (most recent call last): May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/bin/gnome-language-selector", line 22, in on_activate May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: options=options) May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py", line 202, in __init__ May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: self.check_input_methods() May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py", line 57, in wrapper May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: res = f(*args, **kwargs) May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py", line 453, in check_input_methods May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: currentIM = self.ImConfig.getCurrentInputMethod() May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/ImConfig.py", line 39, in getCurrentInputMethod May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: loc = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)[0] May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/locale.py", line 581, in getlocale May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: return _parse_localename(localename) May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: File "/usr/lib/python3.6/locale.py", line 490, in _parse_localename May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: raise ValueError('unknown locale: %s' % localename) May 20 12:20:28 alex-laptop gnome-language-selector.desktop[14134]: ValueError: unknown locale: en_IL ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: language-selector-gnome 0.188 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun May 20 12:15:21 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-19 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_IL SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: language-selector UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1772237/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
