From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: When I enter the command "emacs" on the terminal, I get the following: Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default Undefined color: "black" And then get the next command prompt. Emacs load and runs on the console (no X environment). strace of emacs shows emacs is still accessing /usr/X11R6 for locale.alias. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-21.4-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type emacs at a gnome-terminal window. Actual Results: [dickson@white 17:45:24 RT2]$ emacs Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default Undefined color: "black" [dickson@white 17:45:25 RT2]$ Expected Results: emacs should have opened a window, Additional info:
The RbgPath definition was deleted by xorg-x11-server-0.99.3-6 from my xorg.conf file. I created the file (backed up from eariler, and added back the RgbPath definition. Emacs now runs.
I believe I did this to myself. I moved, rather than copied, /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt. Reinstalling xorg-x11-server-utils and deleting the RgbPath reference solves my problem. Xmms's buttons are the right color too, now.
