[Bug 713768] Re: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser
I see. However, I can't reproduce the behavior you described without manual editing, so there is really nothing to do.

[Bug 713768] Re: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser
The problem is gone since I have edited out the extraneous .utf8 that has been appended by GDM. My current dmrc looks like: [Desktop] Session=gnome Language=fi_FI.UTF-8 Layout=fi Langlist=fi_FI.UTF-8:fi LCMess=fi_FI.UTF-8 ... and it works. I have never used any language selector since the system defaults to the correct language (Finnish) for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713768 Title: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Really? My apologies if I was too hasty, but when I saw "ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=fi_FI.utf8" in the description above, I assumed that you have something like: export LANGUAGE="fi_FI.utf8" in ~/.profile, and it shouldn't be possible that language-selector wrote that line. Anyway, could you please try the latest development packages of GDM and language-selector at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/language- menus, and let us know if the problem you reported persists? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713768 Title: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sorry, you've got that one wrong. I never needed to manually edit anything until this issue came up. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713768 Title: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 713768] Re: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser
Hi Martin-Éric, Thanks for reporting this issue. I don't think it's a GDM bug, though, but the problem seems to be caused by the incorrect LANGUAGE value "fi_FI.UTF-8". You are not expected to use a complete locale name to denote a language in the LANGUAGE priority list, and neither ".utf8" nor ".UTF-8" shall be included. http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html The latest released GDM version (2.32.0-0ubuntu7) would not have stopped you from logging in, but that's actually a coincidence. No program will protect you fully from mistakes when you edit config files manually. ;-) ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713768 Title: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 713768] Re: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser
It seems that GDM itself is the cause. Whenever it updates the /var/cache/gdm/$user/dmrc, it adds some useless utf8 marker to the locale e.g. my locale is fi_FI.UTF-8 which gets mingled into fi_FI.UTF-8.utf8 and that is what prevents the login from taking place. Editing that dmrc from vcons to remove the extraneous .utf8 components fixed the GDM login process for good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713768 Title: login fails; freezes after selecting user from the face browser -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
