[Bug 1083605] Re: accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

It was disappointing, and a little strange, since that solution makes a
difference when HOME is encrypted.

Just to be sure: Did you reboot after adding that line?

I wonder ... could it be that also PAM acts as root when reading
~/.pam_environment, and that there is a need to change PAM in a similar
way as I propose for accountsservice?

Title:
  accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using localization setup from the login screen, the choice
  doesn't work because of a permission error, if the user's home
  directory is mounted with nfs. The problem happens because this is
  done by root, usually not able to write over nfs shares. The problem
  disappears if home directories are exported with no_root_squash
  option. So, something is making access as root, instead as user.

  I'm using Precise.
