 |
|
After the last emerge i have Segfault on su, but the wierd thing is, that it only happens in X, without X i have no problems switching to root or other acounts.
In X:
| Code: |
vertigo@fucked ~ $ su
Password:
Segmentation fault
vertigo@fucked ~ $

I have the same problem. Apparently the latest update of shadow did this. Hopefully a fix will come real soon. I just reemerged an older shadow and it works fine now.

Here "su" also segfaults, but
"su -" instead of just "su" still seems to work (inherits environment). |

the reason it fails is the new shadow doesnt install locale stuff properly.
From strace su:
| Code: | open("/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/shadow.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/shadow.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 1), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7cb3000
write(1, "Sorry.\n", 7Sorry.
) = 7
munmap(0xb7cb3000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(1) = ? |
