Hi Tobiasz,

Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue!

Hmm... This is one of those things that 'cannot happen'. language-selector depends on accountsservice, which does include the file that the crash report claims is missing. :(

As a test, can you please change the regional formats setting, apply that setting system-wide, and let us know if it worked?

[Tobiasz Jarczyk (dotnokato-q)]

Hi Gunnar,
I've reinstalled language-selector-gnome and accountsservice.
After that I've tried your scenario: changing regional format settings system-wide and the same crash happened.

I've got version 0.6.30-0ubuntu1+logind~raring2 of accountsservice from ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging. Maybe this is the case?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Yep, that explains it.

Obviously the accountsservice package in that PPA hasn't been updated with the latest Raring changes to accountsservice (ubuntu), despite the version number.

[Tobiasz Jarczyk (dotnokato-q)]

After installing new version of accountsservice (0.6.30-0ubuntu1+logind~raring3) from ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging the crash stopped appearing.

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

Good to know, Tobiasz. Marking this bug as fixed, then.

accountsservice (0.6.30-0ubuntu1+logind~raring3) raring; urgency=medium
