Bug#590534: gdm3 changes xkb options in debian squeeze

[Dimitrios Liappis]

I have also recompiled the gdm3 package in debian squeeze from the
source package after applying Julien Pinon's patch.

Just wanted to inform that I have been using the patched gdm3 package
for about 3 weeks so far without any problems/visible regressions on my system
(using Debian squeeze, linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64)

Also hoping there will be a new fixed version of gdm3 coming soon in
debian squeeze.

Thanks,
Dimitrios Liappis

Bug#446916: maxima: Maxima fails to start with locale configured to el_gr.utf8

[Dimitrios Liappis]

Package: maxima
Version: 5.10.0-6
Severity: grave
Tags: l10n
Justification: renders package unusable


Maxima on my system decided to stop starting/working recently.

I am running debian etch (4.0) stable (i386).

Here is what happens:


$ maxima

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 Error in SETQ [or a callee]: 0 and 2 are illegal as :START and :END
  for the sequence "".

   Automatically continuing.
   To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
 Error in SUBSEQ [or a callee]: The tag RETURN-FROM-DEBUGGER is
  undefined.

   Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Broken at CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER.  Type :H for
Help.
  1 (Continue) Maxima top-level
 2 (Abort) Return to top level.
dbl:MAXIMA>>


I have tried the following, unsuccesful steps, so far:

1) Uninstall and purge the package and reinstall it
using apt-get.
2) Try running maxima as a different user.

However on another system (32bit) that I have running
also debian etch stable,
maxima seems to be working so apparently this seems to
be a system specific problem.

After LOTS of searching I realised that the problem was
due to the
localisation settings.

In the past I was running with the locale set to posix.

Here are my current settings:


$ locale
LANG=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

When I unset all those variables (or set the locale to posix) maxima
works fine again.
