Hello, folks. I've upgraded from a slightly potato system to plain woody yesterday, and now I got a really annoying problem. The modifications i had in potato were: XF86 4.0.2 and Ximian stuff (gnome, evolution, red-carpet). Aside from that, no other changes from Debian 2.2r2.
After upgrading to woody, some things related to locale was broken. 1) Locales like pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 doesn't work anymore. I can't specify the charset on the locale. If I want portuguese messages, I have to set LANG as pt_BR, but not pt_BR.ISO-8859-1. The problem here is that gdm uses /etc/locale.alias, where all locales are defined with their charsets. 2) Also, if the locale is set to something with a charset, like pt_BR.ISO-8859-1, any line of text with an accented character is truncated at the first accented character. Most annoying. 2) No deadkeys. Deadkeys stopped working in X. I've tried the best I can to make them work, without sucess. When I type a dead key, dead_acute for example, nothing happens, it's like the key wasn't there. xev, however, reports the pressing of the key. Any help on this? I know libc has been upgraded from potato to woody, but things shouldn't break like this. Was this expected and reported before? Note: yes, I've compiled the locale definitions for pt_BR. When upgrade locales, I edited /etc/locale.gen and uncommented en_US, pt_BR, pt_PT and ja_JP.eucjp lines. -- Ja ne, Marcus Brito mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Close the world, open the NeXT -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
