[Bug 1001755] Re: After changing language, password no more accepted in terminal and at resume from suspend

[Steve Langasek]

Why do you think this is a pam bug?  The default sudo PAM configuration
doesn't ever look at ~/.pam_environment - a recent fix to sudo now
causes it to read /etc/environment where it previously failed to do so;
but that was published *after* your bug report was filed, and certainly
does not look at ~/.pam_environment.

Are there failures showing in syslog for these failed logins?

I cannot reproduce this behavior by changing the language variables in
my environment.

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)

  I've tried to recreate the user, reinstall keeping my home, but it exist again.
  On another machine at same level, the bug not appear
  If I create another user, it is not affected, so i'm thinking at something in my home dir that is the only thing not changed, but what ?

  **Workaround**
  gedit ~/.pam_environement
  and removed:
  LANGUAGE=it_IT:en
  LANG=it_IT.UTF-8

  to have the file like this:
  LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
  It works as expected.
