I agree that the system language as set in /etc/default/locale should be the fallback language, so I prepared two merge proposals that should fix it. It would be great if you could fix a 14.04 install and test the packages I uploaded to my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/default-lan

Well, after investigation, I have to use my special id account: I need it for NFS and autofs to work at my lab. I removed the new account, using users-admin, but its configuration file in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ was not removed (I did it myself). The two new bugs are to a real problem , b

Worse and worse! Of course, the user list helps because the user selected automatically is the only non system user, for which language setting is OK (explain me why) even though it is not written in its file in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/. But two new bugs appear: 1- the background image set

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

Well, I do prefer to hide users and show manual login (this is my work laptop, am I paranoiac?). Whatsoever, it does not change a lot: before entering login (or selecting it, it should be the same), the language selected is English (it should be the system one, i.e. French, don't you think?). --

Well, normal/abnormal uid is not the point: before I enter my login, the greeter selects English as language (at login, as well as after any connection - the one with uid > 1000 or the other one). Moreover, I now have the Language and FormatsLocale in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer, but th

OK, uid is a part of the problem (as I do not use the lab's NIS, and as mount procedures make mappings, I will change my uid). However, a part of the problem remains: why does the greeter falls back to the default language (English) instead of the system language (defined as French/France in /etc/

Sniff! Sorry to tell you that: it does not work! The point is that the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer is rewritten (without the language settings) at each connection. Too bad! And I don't understand either why the language setting does not fall back to the system language, defined

Now this is strange. I see in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log the entry "Greeter sets language fr_FR", and it's not followed by any error message. Still, as you say, Language is not set in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer. Furthermore, since Language isn't set in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/
