According to upstream, lxdm doesn't reference libXfont, and it works on fedora25 with libXfont-1.5.2 and xorg-server-1.19.0.
The segfault is after glibc seems to think my locale is ANSI_X3.4-1968 and failing to convert the UTF-8 message. Root's locale when running lxdm via gdb was en_GB.UTF-8. Fedora are using lxdm-git : I tried that but it too segfaulted for me - I didn't bother to look at a bt for the moment, so I guess it might be different. I'm starting to wonder if something in current glibc broke this, but basically I'm flailing around and trying to clutch at straws. If I can't make any progress in the next few days, I guess I'd better raise a BLFS ticket asserting that this is broken. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
