Re: gnome is testing appears broken
Any ideas on what is going on??? I'm using a xfree86 v4.3.0 from
experimental as my hardware requires it. The machine is too new and XF86
in Debian is so way behind. I don't think the X server is the problem as
KDE seems to work OK.
I have fixed this a few times before. Whatever the problem is in XFree86
4.3; I don't really know it. But this happens when you use the latest
knoppix (3.2 or 3.3) and install it to a computer and then "apt-get" gnome
2.4; so I guess the same happens to gnome 2.2 (testing/sarge). The best
thing to do is to downgrade all X related stuff to 4.2 and magically
everything works. I assume is something to do with some fonts, but, I don't
know what it is and I got tired of looking for it in 3 or so computers that
had the same problem. I know that if you installed gs-fonts package, this
error would recur. But "apt-get --reinstall install fontconfig" and letting
it rebuild the cache fixes that (after removing the gs-fonts package of
course).
There was a discussion about that here before, I just don't know if it got
fixed or what...
Hope that helps.
