Package: tasksel Version: 2.40 Severity: normal An install of the desktop task in Persian currently leads to a GDM login screen....without anything shown on the screen.
This is mostly because the needed fonts are not available to the system. So, I hereby propose the attached minimal tasks for Persian. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages tasksel depends on: ii aptitude 0.4.1-1 terminal-based apt frontend ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.69 Debian configuration management sy ii laptop-detect 0.12.1 attempt to detect a laptop ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.05-1 Using libc functions for internati tasksel recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded
