Well, the point is not to make it hard for myself (it's not so hard), but for anybody else who would like to login (this is my lab's recommendation).
You say "It should be the user language", but it can't be, not before I select a user (or enter a login, and I mean the login only, not the password). And definitely no, it won't help to disable the language selector: I won't be able to correct accountsservice's wrong selection of the language. I will try a few connections with the users list and without the language selector, but I would be *very* surprised if it changes anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276072 Title: Language selection always falls back to English Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the beginning of the upgrade). Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login. I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language- selector seems to force default English as default at each connection! Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
