Yves-Alexis, the fields in .dmrc are only there so the greeter can know which language to set by default in the list of options. The locale settings must be set externally to the display manager as it is not the only method of logging into the system (e.g. text terminal logins). So by LightDM not touching the locale settings it uses the correct settings as defined by the distribution.
Gunnar, I've closed this bug because it fixes the specific problem which was setting the locale to an invalid value. There are some other issues here which need to be tracked in other bugs: - Does LightDM support a greeter overriding the user language (currently broken, not opposed to solving this) - Does the Ubuntu greeter provide an appropriate method for users to switch languages? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793366 Title: Sets $LANG to invalid value "de" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/793366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
