GDM doesn't change the login logic between snv builds since we use GDM 2.20.
GDM checks locales and fonts.
- Update /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias.
Does your current locale.alias include en_CA.ISO8859-1 at present?
- Install locales, maybe localeadm helps you.
If FcFontList() is failed in your env on en_CA.ISO8859-1, en_CA.ISO8859-1
cannot be displayed.
My guess is your problem could be either of:
- locale.alias is not correct.
- setlocale(LC_CTYPE, en_CA.ISO8859-1) is failed.
