[Bug 1083605] Re: env not changed in acc. with ~/.pam_environment if /home is on nfs

While the accountsservice fix has now been uploaded to Raring, and if I
understand it correctly, there is at least one remaining issue. I
changed the summary of this bug report to reflect that issue, and added
a pam task.

Further participation by NFS users is essential to resolve this bug. For
instance, is also the failure to parse ~/.pam_environment related to
whether the no_root_squash option is enabled, i.e. does it work with
that option but not otherwise?

Also, can someone please unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors, since there is
currently nothing to sponsor.

** Summary changed:

- accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs
+ env not changed in acc. with ~/.pam_environment if /home is on nfs

** Also affects: pam (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

Title:
  env not changed in acc. with ~/.pam_environment if /home is on nfs

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
