[Bug 1245585] Re: LiveCD: wrong language selected by default on login screen

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The contents of /etc/default/locale would have been valuable...

Anyway, this seems to be an installer issue rather than something that
affects lightdm. I suppose that "xubuntu" is a special purpose user for
demo purposes. Possibly it's something with that user that prevents
accountsservice from providing the correct default language. I can't
tell if it's a Xubuntu specific problem or if it's inherited from the
Ubuntu image. Changing affected packages.

** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New

Title:
  LiveCD: wrong language selected by default on login screen

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  What happened:  When I start the Xubuntu 13.10 i386 LiveCD I directly
  land into the desktop of Xfce. If I log out and log back in by
  entering username as xubuntu and leaving the password field blank at
  the login screen, I get "Bangla - Bangladesh" as the user interface
  language!

  What should happen: If a user doesn't change any language option while
  logging in the first time, they should get English as the default
  language.

  xubuntu at xubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy lightdm
