Progress has been made, and this is a short update. Ubuntu 11.10 was shipped with a language chooser in lightdm-gtk-greeter. Thanks, Robert!
Unfortunately - due to time restraints - the chooser is currently broken as regards Ubuntu; see https://launchpad.net/bugs/868346 A proposed fix is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc I hope it will be uploaded as an update of Ubuntu 11.10. You can help increase the chances for that by installing the PPA package and let us know via a comment on bug 868346 whether it works to your satisfaction. Update on other things that were mentioned in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2011-July/003165.html: * Shared scripts The shared scripts I talked about are now provided by the accountsservice package. * Storing of language settings In 12.04 we will probably drop ~/.profile as the storing place. PAM has been mentioned as an appropriate tool for actually setting the locale/language environment, and the data will probably be stored in a PAM config file or accountsservice or both. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
