Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2009-05-28 06:03:49 UTC

ks_IN.devanagari is not a valid locale name, devanagari is not a character set name.
You want ks_IN@devanagari or ks_IN.UTF-8@devanagari, which are supported, devanagari is a locale modifier, locale names look like:
language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]

Comment 3 A S Alam 2009-05-28 06:30:16 UTC

ah, then GDM  language list making wrong locale setting for language having @modifier (like devanagari or cyrillic)
Language includes:
Kashimiri, Sandhi, uz

gdm-2.26.1-10
