language-selector-kde unusable

[James Maddison]

Affects Kubuntu Quantal. Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the language-selector-kde package
2. Launch "System Settings"
3. Select "Locale"
4. Select "System Languages"

No configuration options are presented, and instead the following error message is displayed:

The service 'System Languages' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' with keyword 'language-selector/language-selector.py'The factory does not support creating components of the specified type.

Possible reasons:

  - An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
  - You have old third party modules lying around.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.

Same problem here with version 0.90.

Thanks for reporting this issue, James!

language-selector-kde is not shipped with Kubuntu Quantal due to a Python version issue, so it's expected that it doesn't work as expected. Further info in the comments on bug #1013626.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
