[Bug 1723318] Re: gnome-language-selector crashed with TypeError in getCurrentInputMethod(): 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report. I see that the LANG environment variable is set
to C, which is not normal in a desktop session (it should be some .UTF-8
locale), and I think it explains the crash. Unless you set LANG=C
yourself, that value may be related to
<https://launchpad.net/bugs/1723404>.

Can you please show us the output from these terminal commands:

cat /etc/default/locale

locale -a

locale
