[Bug 1276072] Re: Language selection always falls back to English

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

It's probably the write protection that prevents the system from
remembering the language. Why on earth do you want that?

* Make it editable.
* Use Language Support to change the language somehow, and instantly change it back.

That way accountsservice should save the language, and you don't need to
actively select it before logging in. Let us know if that doesn't help.

Use the "Apply system-wide" button in Language Support to make your
language the default language for the system. (That will save things in
/etc/default/locale.)

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the beginning of the upgrade).
  Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login.

  I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the
  /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language-
  selector seems to force default English as default at each connection!

  Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
