Thank you for looking into this, Steve. My experience is the same as Resat's, though. Changing the language settings in language selector and logging off and on again (or rebooting) does not affect the desktop language in any way on the standard Ubuntu Desktop version. I have set up Ubuntu on a number of different systems, including virtual machines, and have consistently encountered this problem, always using a fresh image from ubuntu.com, typically completely formatting the hard drive and fully updating the system before running any tests.
May I ask if you updated Ubuntu from a previous version (and if so, which one?), or if you formatted your hdd before installing Precise Pangolin? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993818 Title: Language selector fails to set language and regional formats on user level (Precise) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/993818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
