Thanks for the additional info, Christian. The failed file test that results in the warning "not access to HOME yet so language not saved" happens in accountsservice and is certainly made as root. So I wrote a patch that makes that code be run as user instead.
I applied the patch in a branch which was uploaded to my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc Raring builds of the branch should be available in a couple of hours. It would be great if you or somebody else with HOME on NFS could install that accountsservice package on a Raring system, so we can find out if the change makes a difference. ** Patch added: "accountsservice_lp-1083605.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1083605/+attachment/3452585/+files/accountsservice_lp-1083605.diff ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => accountsservice (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Tags added: patch ** Summary changed: - lightdm doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs + accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083605 Title: accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1083605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
