Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.11-4
Severity: normal
I'm observing a similar issue, the only differences being:
- I have a few more locales enabled (es_ES.UTF-8, fr_FR.UTF-8,
de_DE@euro, ...).
- My /etc/default/locale is empty (as suggested for machines with
users coming in via SSH).
Besides these details, modifying /etc/gdm/locale.conf or
/etc/locale.alias does *not* remedy the problem here -- but as the
system is in production use, I did not restart the gdm daemon after the
modifications, but only killed/respawned some slaves.
As logging in with de_DE (ISO-8859-15 "German (euro) (Deutsch)" -- no
utf8/UTF-8 mixup possible here) yields the same error message ("Language
de_DE@euro does not exist; using System default"), this may be a
different bug, or just another symptom of this one.
Logging in with "English (USA) (UTF-8) (American English)" works fine.
