Version: pango-1.3.5-1 From: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ppc/ When i try to start either gdm or gnome-session, they crash with the following output: [jeroen@orcrist jeroen]$ gnome-session SESSION_MANAGER=local/orcrist:/tmp/.ICE-unix/5215 ** (gnome-session:5215): WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/etc/pango/pango.modules' You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules. (gnome-session:5215): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** (gnome-session:5215): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed ** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) aborting... There *is* a /etc/pango/pango.modules. (by default there isn't: it's put in /etc/pango/ppc-redhat-linux-gnu). I've run pango-querymodules-32 > /etc/pango/pango.modules and tried again, but it keeps crashing. I'm out of ideas here. My system is fully updated with the fedora ppc development yum repository. This is a major problem for me since practically everything with a GUI uses pango nowadays.

This is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114399 Work around as documented in earlier bug report cd /etc/pango ln -s ppc-redhat-linux-gnu powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu This works around it for me. triage->duplicate 114399

I found that restrictive permissions can cause this symptom, too. Our site sets root's umask to 077, which breaks all kinds of things. After I fixed the perms and this problem went away. find /opt/freeware -perm 600 -exec chmod 644 {} \; This was on AIX with the install of the Linux Toolbox RPMs.
