I just did a clean install of cooker. Selected only GNOME and minimal config for everything else (didn't want to invest too much time in case install failed).
Everything installed nicely, but GDM comes up with no words (not empty, just don't exist -- the icons are nested against each other as a result). I know the keyboard shortcuts, so I could log in and cancel out of the first-time wizard. But, as the empty wizard buttons and content area indicated, GNOME's the same: no fonts. I've tried a "diff -rq" on /etc and /usr/share/fonts between this install and my production 9.1 install, just to see what might be missing. No real big differences, but then I might just be looking in the wrong places. I'd done one last "urpmi --auto-select" on my 9.1-updated-to-cooker (original install: about three weeks ago, when ldconfig was still giving problems). I had a working config before I did the new clean install. I'd have kept the old one for comparison, but I didn't expect there'd be any differences. Something I should open a bug on, or is this related to the general funkiness with GNOME? Or something else? Hopefully, this isn't just a lack of sleep on my part making me denser than normal. But I thought I'd risk a newbie-style post before opening a bug. - John
