[Impact]
When the syntax for the entries in ~/.pam_environment was changed, the
GUI in language-selector-gnome for maintaining the language priority
list was broken since language-selector-gnome reads from
~/.pam_environment. The language-selector upload to artful makes
language-selector-gnome handle both the old and the new syntax
correctly.
+ An additional similar change to accountsservice (the update-langlist
+ script) is needed; hence also an accountsservice upload to artful.
+
[Test Case]
* Log in to an "Ubuntu on Xorg" session.
* Open Language Support and find that it appears as if you can only
- set one item before the "English" item in the language list.
+ set one item before the "English" item in the language list.
With the new version, it works as expected again.
[Regression Potential]
Low. This is necessary to fix the regression caused by the change in
accountsservice.
[Original description]
While investigating bug #1662031, I found out that /usr/share/language-
tools/save-to-pam-env writes to ~/.pam_environment using an incorrect
syntax: "VARIABLE=value" on each line. The expected syntax is "VARIABLE
[DEFAULT=[value]] [OVERRIDE=[value]]" (man pam_env.conf).
