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'm posting this comment in bug 84011 too, because it is still open. -- [apport] gedit crashed with SIGSEGV when trying to change input method https://launchpad.net/bugs/83142 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
