Public bug reported: There is no possibility to choose language in an interactive way in Ubuntu 12.04, neither with XFCE4 nor with Gnome, neither with lightdm nor with GDM3 when home dirs aren't on local drive.
Error message: gdm-session-worker[2009]: AccountsService-WARNING: SetLanguage call failed: not access to HOME yet so language not saved That's a bummer, I have users from all over the world, they need to be able to choose their own language.
