Bug Description
When working with ubuntu-touch the following environment differences are observed:
- login via ssh, locale is set
- login via tty/serial, locale is set
- login adb shell, locale is not set
in fact none of the /etc/environment is sourced/exported, which indicates that PAM environment is not used. I believe adbd should be treated as a full-fledged login-like PAM session, such that e.g. adb shell has correct locale set, etc.
As a local hack, I've now used:
# echo exec su - -c adbd > /etc/init/
such that, at least, adb shell not has all PAM environment variables available.
Please note at the moment we are growing a number of work-arounds across smoke tests runners, and the autopilot tests which workaround the facts that environment across adb shell is incomplete.
