Title:
accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs
Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
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.
