Package: gdm Version: 2.20.11-1 Severity: normal
This is weird. This is probably a configuration issue, but I'm filing this bug report because I have no idea what went wrong. Any help would be appreciated. I just upgraded a huge swath of old stuff, including a jump from GNOME 2.26 stuff to 2.30. Kernel went from 2.6.26 to 2.6.32. Tons of stuff changed and I'm not quite sure *what* broke things, so I'd love to hear what's going on. The problem is that only *some* keys work in gdm. This makes giving usernames and passwords impossible. If I log in on console, the keyboard works perfectly. If I run startx, I get my usual GNOME session just fine, and the keyboard works perfectly in X. Using a different physical USB keyboard doesn't seem to help any. The keys in [brackets] are broken: § 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 + ' [Q][W] E R T [Y][U][I][O] P Å " [A] S D [F][G][H][J][K][L] Ö Ä ' Z X C [V] B N M [,] . - Modifiers (shift etc) and dead keys appear to work just fine. So do space, tab, caps lock, etc. The keyboard is defined like this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "evdev" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fi" Option "XkbVariant" "fi" EndSection ...not that it helps any, because changing the model, layout, variant, etc doesn't seem to do anything these days. Not even setting them to "en" or anything seems to help; it always seems to pick the Finnish layout no matter what. Bizarre. I have no idea how to override this these days. Maybe some corrupt or obsolete file somewhere? xkb-data seems to be newest version. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gdm depends on: ii adduser 3.107 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2. 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii eterm [x-terminal-e 0.9.4.0debian1-2.1 Enlightened Terminal Emulator ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-session [x-se 2.30.2-1 The GNOME Session Manager - GNOME ii gnome-terminal [x-t 2.30.2-1 The GNOME terminal emulator applic ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libattr1 1:2.4.41-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.14-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.86-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdmx1 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Distributed Multihead extensio ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.25.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.26.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpam-modules 0.99.7.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-7 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.99.7.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii librsvg2-2 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii librsvg2-common 2.26.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-15 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.2-3 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.3-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.7.5.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii metacity [x-window- 1:2.30.1-2 lightweight GTK+ window manager ii terminator [x-termi 0.14-1 multiple GNOME terminals in one wi ii tilda [x-terminal-e 0.09.4+cvs20071012-1 terminal emulator with first perso ii twm [x-window-manag 1:1.0.4-1 Tab window manager ii xterm [x-terminal-e 235-1 X terminal emulator Versions of packages gdm recommends: ii dialog 1.1-20080316-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii gdm-themes 0.6.2 Themes for the GNOME Display Manag ii whiptail 0.52.2-11.2 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe pn xserver-xephyr | xnest <none> (no description available) ii xserver-xorg 1:7.5+6 the X.Org X server ii zenity 2.30.0-1 Display graphical dialog boxes fro -- debconf information: gdm/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
