[Bug 1083605] Re: accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for testing. I suppose you noticed that the code is different in
Precise, and modified the patch accordingly.

In any case it's promising that no warning message is written to the
log. Can you please show the output from the command:

cat ~/.pam_environment

I suspect that the other (more serious) problem is related to bug
#952185, and there is a proposed solution to it.

Title:
  accountsservice doesn't set locale choice if /home is on nfs

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When using localization setup from the login screen, the choice
  doesn't work because of a permission error, if the user's home
  directory is mounted with nfs. The problem happens because this is
  done by root, usually not able to write over nfs shares. The problem
  disappears if home directories are exported with no_root_squash
  option. So, something is making access as root, instead as user.

  I'm using Precise.
