Hi, There was some fixes in the source for those files a while back by Steve Grubb. What if you upgrade to the latest rawhide?
This was the latest rawhide as of yesterday (minus openssl bits) Now upgrading to today's rawhide
Hi Nicolas, Do you have some yum excludes lines in place? The latest version of gdm is gdm-2.8.0.4-8. gdm-2.6.0.8-16 hasn't been in rawhide since August.
Sorry I had downgraded to FC4 gdm today to check - it segfaults too. After a full sync the segfault is still there So the bug is in one of the other packages gdm uses - probably hal stuff given the error messages : hald-probe-smbi[1937] trap stack segment rip:401147 rsp:7fffff957bc0 error:0 gdm-binary[2193]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee990 error 4 gdm-binary[2249]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee870 error 4 gdm-binary[2305]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee870 error 4 gdm-binary[2361]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee870 error 4 gdm-binary[2417]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee870 error 4 gdm-binary[2473]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaeef4eab rsp 00007fffff8ee870 error 4
$ rpm -q gdm gdm-2.8.0.4-8
Just to be sure I forced a reinstall of all the rpms in my yum cache (checking them with rpm -K before), and did a new full rawhide sync, and the problem is still there
This one seems to have been fixed by one of the latest rawhide updates
