Comment 3 for bug 1789502

Hi Robert,

I see that the user_set_property() function has been dropped. Without having looked closely at the code, setting them on initialization sounds reasonable, if that can be done without confusing accountsservice. The goal is that querying the "Language" or "FormatsLocale" property should return the proper current value even if nothing has (yet) been saved in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<username>.

Initialization - would that be the user_update_from_keyfile() function?

Right now I don't have access to a working cosmic install. Possibly it's some hardware incompatibility issue, but whatever the reason is, I'm not able to do any work in a sensible way at the moment. So I'm hoping you can fix also 0010-set-language.patch ..

Once I have fixed my cosmic, I'll be happy to test to make sure that it works as expected.

Btw, is your work in progress available in a repository somewhere?
