ubuntu 11.10 language settings window crashes when Ukrainian language installed

Asked by soulcor

Hi all,

I have a problem with the language window settings. This window opens when Ukrainian language is not installed.
Language settings throws the following exception and then closes with Ukrainian language installed.

admin1@admin1-Z68M-D2H:~$ sudo language-selector
[sudo] password for admin1:
sudo: language-selector: command not found
admin1@admin1-Z68M-D2H:~$ sudo gnome-language-selector

Could you please help me with that issue?

Thank you!

soulcor,

Sam_ linked to a bug report where this issue has been addressed. If you don't want to wait until the bug has been fixed, you can install language-selector from my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc

P.S. Why do you call gnome-language-selector as "sudo"? You are not supposed to do so, and it may make you encounter other kinds of unexpected behavior.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask soulcor for more information if necessary.
