Description Noriko Mizumoto 2013-12-19 05:15:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Change language does not work, destroys the screen appearance and the existing text file  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
http://download.englab.bne.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.0-20131127.1/compose/Client/x86_64/os/
gdm-3.8.4-7.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actions

    Change System Language from Settings

    Select Region & Language

    New Window appear and click on Language

    Search you language and click on 'Done'

    Reboot and check the translation of login screen.

    Check translations and short-cut keys in the screen.
    Run from terminal: # gdm -h

* Original setting was Japanese, and changed it to English (US)

Actual results:
1) Log In screen is still Japanese after log-out
2) Logged in, the screen is partially black out (see attachment: settings-language1.png)
3) Tried to open small text file, it appears corrupted and requires strange language installation (see attachment: settings-language3.png)
4) Go back to Japanese setting, log out and log in, the text file still corrupted and unable to restore. The text file was similar to below.

Did you use the 'Login Screen' button on the 'Region & Language' panel when changing the language ?

'Region and Language' setting window

Hi Matthias

I am not sure which button you are talking about, but clicking 'Language' opens new window to choose the language. This window was used for selection.
I will attach the screenshots of 'Region & Language' window and new window opened by clicking 'Language'.

This was a part of QA test performed, and the result was FAILED due to this problem.

new window for language selection

Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2014-01-07 22:08:47 UTC
Oh, I think we are only showing the 'Login Screen' button when there are multiple  user accounts.

Did you reboot or just logged out? Did you use the overlay that shows up on top of the Settings window with a button to log out?

This file isn't attached.

I suspect this is the same issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015257 which has been fixed in Fedora and AFAICT should be fixed in rhel 7 too at this point. Can you try with a more recent build ?

Noriko, I think this is the logout dialog overlay that the Desktop team
was referring to above.

(I don't think I have seen your issue either but
probably running gdm from console is not a good idea anyway.)

too late for rhel 7.0
