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

[sourcepower]

Thank you for the help. I didn't execute "im-config -n none" instead i
did the following.

- enable the needed locales (= uncomment it)

sudo vi /etc/locale.gen
...
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
...

sudo locale-gen


- set the system language to en_US.UTF-8

sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8


- reboot the system
- results

steven at box:~$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX
steven at box:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
