So, I wanted to upgrade Firefox on my FreeBSD 10 workstation,
|
||
|
|
and this in turn caused some supporting libraries to be upgraded,
|
||
|
|
and this broke all sorts of things again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Initially gdm just segfaulted. After more manual upgrades,
|
||
|
|
it turned out to work again, except that GDM had lost all localization,
|
||
|
|
and in particular got the wrong keymap for the login screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It appears that gdm_lang is no longer honored (despite still being
|
||
|
|
mentioned in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm): you now need to set gdm's
|
||
|
|
locale in /usr/local/etc/gdm/locale.conf. Also note that unlike
|
||
|
|
other user-editable configuration files, this one is overwritten
|
||
|
|
each time gdm is reinstalled.
