| alkisg | Hi guys, Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu 20.04 live CDs login with LANGUAGE=en even if I select Greek in syslinux, which wasn't the case before. Is that a deliberate decision (e.g. due to small translation coverage), or is it a bug and I should look more into it? | 07:07 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | Ubuntu (GNOME) is not affected by this | 07:07 |
| alkisg | All processes spawned by lightdm and systemd --user, have LANGUAGE=en, while LANGUAGE is unset in their parents, and only LANG=el_US.UTF-8. | 07:17 |
| alkisg | So I guess there's now some logic to force-set LANGUAGE, in either lightdm or systemd, that sets it to the wrong value... | 07:18 |
| alkisg | This happens only on live CDs and only for specific languages, e.g. greek and arabic but NOT italian, so I'm reluctant to file an issue against lightdm for this | 08:05 |
| alkisg | Hmm I guess it happens when the language pack isn't installed, so I guess it's by design somewhere. I'll stop digging, ping me if you think it's a bug after all. | 08:06 |
| alkisg | True, got it, Ubuntu specific patch to override locale -a with /usr/share/language-tools/language-options | 08:13 |
| alkisg | But this doesn't sound like a good choice for all the flavors except GNOME, as e.g. mate-calc or mate-panel do have their translations outside of the language pack, so it's a pity to have the whole live session untranslated because of that patch | 08:17 |
| seb128 | alkisg, report a bug? I don't think language-options is meant to not work/create issues for flavors | 08:19 |
| alkisg | seb128: where, in language-options that don't list e.g. greek in live cds (maybe that's the correct thing to do), or in lightdm, which uses language options instead of locale -a like upstream does? | 08:20 |
| alkisg | The lightdm patch was done in 2014, but language-option behavior changed in 19.10 | 08:20 |
| alkisg | To be clear: /usr/share/language-tools/language-options doesn't list Greek on live cds, while locale -a does | 08:21 |
| seb128 | alkisg, that sounds like a bug in the script? | 08:21 |
| seb128 | Gunnar is the one who knows best about those things but he's not around atm so launchpad bug is best | 08:21 |
| alkisg | Thank you seb128, I'll file it under accountsservice then, where that script comes from | 08:22 |
| seb128 | sounds right | 08:22 |
| alkisg | To additionally account for live cds and locale -a | 08:22 |
| alkisg | Ty :) | 08:22 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1861481 in accountsservice (Ubuntu) "language-options causes live CD sessions to be untranslated" [Undecided,New] | 08:28 |
| seb128 | alkisg, thx, I triaged it and pinged Gunnar | 08:30 |
| alkisg | Thank you again :) | 08:30 |
| seb128 | np! | 08:31 |
