[Bug 2035212] Re: [Feature request]: Command line option

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Right, they are not loaded by Language Support because it grabs the old
value from something called accountsservice. So you kind of mess it up
if you change those variables in ~/.pam_environment manually.

But if you check it with the locale command, you'll find that the
Canadian locales are in effect.

I have to ask: What is it you try to actually achieve?

Title:
  [Feature request]: Command line option

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The settings for gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the
  "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list,
  are stored in ~/.pam_environment

  # How is it possible to make the DE reload the new values from ~/.pam_environment
  So it's possible to modify ~/.pam_environment with a script. But how do you update the system to use the changes? Not even reboot worked. This issue can manually be evaluated in order to make sure that the file content is correct:
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (Canada)"
  * Press on the Close button
  * cp ~/.pam_environment ~/.pam_environment-canada
  * Set gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats in the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" list to "English (United States)"
  * cp ~/.pam_environment-canada ~/.pam_environment
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Log out/log in
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"
  * Reboot
  * Open gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats, the "Display numbers, dates and currency in the usual format for" is still set to "English (United States)"

  How do you make the DE reload the new settings from
  ~/.pam_environment?

  # [Feature request]: Implement command line option
  Implemented command line options, for both user and system-wide settings, would be useful.
