severity 779989 grave thanks Turns out this actually prevents gdm from starting at all, rather than just breaking reload. When I next booted my system, it stayed in text mode and failed to start gdm. So, marking this as RC, since people upgrading should not end up in a situation where they cannot start graphics. (Which, for many people, may prevent them from bringing up networking and thus searcihng for a solution or workaround.)

No. Creating (an empty) one worked around this issue and allowed gdm to start. > If not, this looks like a bug in the patch I cherry-picked from upstream > for #774889: > > +EnvironmentFile=@LANG_CONFIG_FILE@ > > should perhaps be > > +EnvironmentFile=-@LANG_CONFIG_FILE@ > > to ignore absence of that file. Yes, that looks like the right fix. > #774889 was RC and this isn't, so I'll have to get approval from the > release team before making that adjustment. I just bumped this up to RC since it breaks boot. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
