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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083605 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.
