Yesterday I caught up with portage and updated quite a few packages on |
2 |
a remote workstation. The system hadn't been updated for about a |
3 |
month. The updates included some xorg stuff and some xfce4 stuff. |
4 |
Today when the workstation's user logged in via gdm, she clicked the |
5 |
xfce4 "Migrate Config" option, something weird happened, and she ended |
6 |
up back on the gdm welcome screen. Now whenever she logs is via gdm, |
7 |
the screen immediately goes black and she is routed back to the gdm |
8 |
welcome screen again. When I have grsecurity enabled I get this in |
9 |
dmesg: |
10 |
|
11 |
Segmentation fault occurred at 000068e453633fdc in |

She also tried skipping gdm and issuing startxfce4 manually but it |
16 |
fails in a similar way and displays "disconnected from session |
17 |
manager". I get this in Xorg.0.log: |

37 |
and when grsecurity is enabled I get this in dmesg: |
38 |

I have tried disabling all security options in the kernel but I get |
44 |
the same results with the exception of the dmesg info. I tried |
45 |
re-emerging xorg-server, xf86-video-nv, xinit, and gdm. Strangely, |
46 |
after re-emerging xorg-server and xinit there were files to change in |
47 |
etc-update. I don't see how that's possible since I'm caught up with |
48 |
emerge -DuN world. revdep-rebuild comes up with nothing. I'm running |
49 |
an emerge -e world now. It's weird that the gdm welcome screen will |
50 |
load (which implies xorg) but nothing afterward. Any ideas? |
