** Description changed: Hi, It seems the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt is not present after the installation of Xubuntu 8.10 x86_64. More over, the symbolic link /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is also broken as you can see below : dr...@draco-desktop:~$ file /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt: broken symbolic link to `/etc/X11/rgb.txt' The link is created by the package x11-common, but the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt appears to be included in no package. Here is my configuration : dr...@draco-desktop:~/.ZiK$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid dr...@draco-desktop:~/.ZiK$ dpkg -s x11-common Package: x11-common Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 748 Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: all Source: xorg Version: 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 Is it possible to include the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt as it lists all the avaible keyword for corresponding color in X11. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The bug affect several application such as : - xcolors (totally broken) + - giftrans (totally broken) + - gcolor2 (loosing preferences) + - git (only in gui mode) - netpbm - xterm - vnc4server (obsolete ?) - x3270 - stage - - sng + - sng (Failed to build from source / FTBFS) - old xorg.conf from Hardy or previous version (see RgbPath problems) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This bugs must have a *medium* importance, not less, as explained in bug report #304567 (mark as duplicate) : > Medium importance is defined as: > > Medium: most bugs are of medium importance, examples are: > > * A bug that has a moderate impact on a core application. > * A bug that has a severe impact on a non-core application. > * A problem with a non-essential hardware component (network card, camera, webcam, music player, sound card, power management feature, printer, etc.) > > In this case this bug falls under "A bug that has a moderate impact on a core application". _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Temporary solution, is to download rgb.txt file and copy it into the folder /etc/X11 by sudo. See the comment below to give URL : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/300935/comments/6 + + UPDATE : + The broken link from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is only an Intrepid problem. + This link wasn't created since Jaunty. + However, the missing file /etc/X11/rgb.txt is still a problem on both Intrepid and Jaunty.
