Well, the point with the language-options script is to only list languages where the language-packs are present. It has been that way for many cycles, and AFAIK nothing special happened in this respect in 19.10. @Alkis: Are you claiming that it worked otherwise in e.g. 18.04?
With that said, I understand that it's not an optimal approach wrt the live session for a flavor. If we are going to change this somehow (I have no idea how ATM), it should reasonably be done without changing the language-options script. The latter was written with a real install in mind at first hand. ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861481 Title: language-options causes live CD sessions to be untranslated Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since Ubuntu 19.10, for all Ubuntu live CDs that use LightDM (e.g. MATE and Xubuntu), if a user selects a language in syslinux other than those with an included langpack, the session is then untranslated. For example, if one boots Ubuntu MATE 20.04 and selects Greek in syslinux, he ends up with LANGUAGE=en in the session. The chain of events is: LightDM has an Ubuntu-specific patch that makes it call /usr/share/language-tools/language-options instead of the upstream `locale -a`. `locale -a` does list el_GR as a supported locale because casper correctly updated the locales. But language-options doesn't list el_GR, so it fools LightDM into thinking that Greek aren't supported; while they're all there, since e.g. MATE doesn't rely on langpacks; mate-panel.mo and mate-calc.mo etc are all there. I believe the correct fix would be for language-options to list el_GR on live CDs (to merge the output of locale -a in its output). Thanks!
