Instead of changing the error message I propose a code change so that the availability of HOME is tested independently of the existence of ~/.profile. Since lp:ubuntu/accountsservice doesn't give me the latest accountsservice branch (which it should), I added an attachment which is a diff that can be applied to the latest version of 0010-set- language.patch.
A quantal build of accountsservice, with the proposed code change, is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc ** Patch added: "0010-set-language.patch.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1018621/+attachment/3319502/+files/0010-set-language.patch.diff ** Tags added: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018621 Title: "Language for menus and windows" is not saved if .profile is missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1018621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
