[apport] gdmgreeter crashed just after entering username when using the esperanto locale (eo_XX.UTF-8)

I think I solved this bug, and bug 83143 also: the composing rules of X for the Esperanto locales were commented in file:

/usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir

lines 97 and 98, 362 and 363, 592 and 593, 857 and 858

and in file

/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir

lines 97 and 98, 345 and 346, 577 and 578, 825 and 826

Once I uncommented those lines, gdm stoped crashing, and everything worked as it should.

Well, it solved the bug for me, but still doesn't explain why gdm crashed anyhow...

Thanks for your time, should I file another bug to make those lines to be uncommented?

Could you get a crash file with libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg gdm-dbgsym (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash) installed?

I installed the following packages:

gdm-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbg gedit-dbgsym

I reinstalled libx11-data, in order to restore /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir and locale.dir to their original state.

I reset the LANG and LANGUAGE variables in both /etc/default/locale and /etc/environmet to use eo_XX.UTF-8 locale again.

Gdm still crashes, and doesn't allow me to login. I manually edit those files again to set the locale to be pt_BR.UTF-8, in order to login. But, the bomb icon doesn't appear any more.

Is there another package I should install to generate the file you need?

Just one last comment:

I just did a fresh install of the system using the Herd 3 CD.

I chose the No locale option when installing, thus the system had no locale when I first logged in.

I updated the system completely, and the installed the necessary dbg and dbgsym packages. Only after that, I installed the language support for Esperanto and set it to be the default locale of the system.

I restarted the system, and gdm didn't crash, neither gedit, when trying to change the input method. Dead keys with xim input method were still not working, but I could change to "cedilla" input method.

Then, I purged the dbg and dbgsym packages. Gdm still worked, but gedit started to crash when I tried to change the input method, but generated no crash report in /var/crash. Xim still didn't work, it works only when I uncomment those lines in /usr/share/X11/locale files.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I think that's the crash file you needed.

thank you for the work on that, that's the same problem than bug #83142 from the crash file
