[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2035212] Re: [Feature request]: Command line option
The description looks right to me now. The thing is that the regional formats value you set is *also* represented by a line in a user file in the /var/lib/AccountsService/users directory. There is quite some code which tries to keep that line in sync with ~/.pam_environment, and by changing those variables in ~/.pam_environment only they got out of sync. :/ If you want to use a script in connection with preparing a distro, one way is to change it in both places. Or probably better: Let the script edit only /etc/default/locale to your liking and don't create ~/.pam_environment in advance. A few years ago I figured out a terminal command to change the user's regional format value the 'right' way: https://askubuntu.com/a/754519 It's pretty long... ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- 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: New 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.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2035212] Re: [Feature request]: Command line option
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. But if you check it with the locale command, you'll find that the Canadian locales are in effect. I have to ask: What is it you try to actually achieve? ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- 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.

"It doesn't. PAM loads ~/.pam_environment at login." - Gunnar Hjalmarsson As I described in the steps above for the sake of demonstration to understand how it can be done with commands: If I modify ~/.pam_environment manually (by using a copy that has been generated), and then logged out and login, the new values are not reloaded.
