hi

gdmlogin does not list languages with UTF8 encoding
in the menus

I attach my /etc/locale.gen

With that  /etc/locale.gen
I am only offered french and not italian in the menu;
to have italian, I have to uncomment it_IT 8859-1

this bug has appeared recently in testing...
up to some time ago, it was possible to use the menu to select
languages with UFT8 encoding (which I really prefer)

a.
