Twice now I fell to this bug, as mentioned here: viewtopic.php?p=2156542
This bug still hasn't been fixed. Now that thread is locked, so I make this new one in order to write the steps of reproducibility:

1. While burning the iso, you setup the additional information too (e.g. wifi, username etc). The trick is to use US english as your language, but a timezone that's outside of the US (plus the wifi country code of that country you're in). I'm American, but I live in Greece, for example.

2. When now booting with the newly burned iso, almost everything works, but you don't have UTF-8 by default. The application sol (aisleriot game) won't load, for example, because it only works with utf-8 systems.

3. When trying to go to raspi-config and set up us-utf8, you will be greeted with a mysterious error message called "L1". The problem can't be fixed with the GUI raspi-config, nor the terminal version.

One has to edit the two locale files on /etc, and regenerate it manually to get it up and running. I hope this bug will get fixed.
