Comment from upstream: "Could you let me know what string is being passed into g_locale_from_utf8 as argument 1? Perhaps there is something weird about that string? You may need to rebuild with -g and attach a debugger to the process that is crashing.
I'm a bit suspicious that this is failing in g_locale_from_utf8. This may be more likely a problem with glib and not GDM unless we are passing some weird data into the function. If we are passing in weird data, it would be useful if you could help identify where the string is coming from. ..." ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- gdm segfaults on ia64 with in ve_locale_from_utf8: address out of bounds https://launchpad.net/bugs/62356 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
