Can I reinstall libBrokenLocale-2.13.so and Xfce Crashes
 

Running Slackware64 current and xfce4.6.2

Only way to open Xfce4.6.2 panel is to issue code:
and leave xterminal minimized?
Alt+F2 has stopped working
Check around and found:
/lib64/libBrokenLocal-2.13.so
/lib64/libBrokenLocale.so.1

I found this:

How do I reinstall or fix these libraries. Then I will reinstall xfce.

Is this the appropriate code to reinstall xfce?
Appreciate any help. Thank you

It would be 'slackpkg reinstall xfce' (and other packages it depends on).

It sounds to me though that it's either a configuration problem, or perhaps a bug in xfce, so reinstalling may not fix it.

I would suggest maybe deleting ~/.config/xfce4-session and maybe also ~/.config.xfce4. That ought to show if it's a config problem or not.

You will also want to delete or backup ~/.cache/sessions/ , ~/.cache/xfce4/ and ~/.cache/Thunar/ . It appears these XFCE settings directories occasionally get corrupted.

Thank you for the quick responses.

Ok.. Can you tell me what Slackware package contains these libraries:
/lib64/libBrokenLocal-2.13.so
/lib64/libBrokenLocale.so.1
Because those libraries have to be replaced before i can trouble shoot xfce4, right?

Hi guys, tried your suggestions but none worked. I tried slackpkg reinstall xfce4* but nothing changed. Have to figure out what package those libraries are in reinstall them and compile the kernel, see where that leaves me? Thank you

libBrokenLocale is part of glibc-solibs-2.13-x86_64-4 If that is broken, other parts of glibc might be broken and you probably have bigger problems than that.

I would recommend reinstalling all the glibc* packages ASAP and perhaps everything under /a .

NightSky: what makes you think those libraries are the problem?

You asked this four years ago http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...raries-607508/

Good grief.

Petri, Thank you so much for finding the old post! Keep them stored but couldn't find it. How did you find it?

Had installed kde with Xfce and removed kde because i only wanted a few apps, but found x-counter parts. Had ..xml configuration file problems with amorak which i don't use. Xfce work spaces started being activated when i opened up an app., lost panel functionality - freeze - crash. Alt+f2 stopped working. Every time startx opened mouse pad, file manager, and X terminal.
Removed everything i think is Kde related.

Reinstalled all Xfce.
Re-configure Xfce through Xfce4 Settings Manager
Removed icons from panel, xfce menu, removded desktop icons Minimized app icons except when active.
Rechecked ~/.bashrc
Xfce is working properly now! So that is solved
Will goto my old post now.

Dive no need to embarrass anyone...

You didn't answer my question, how do you know those libs are broken?

/lib64/libBrokenLocal-2.13.so -Just the name- Not broken
 

Dive, listed issues with xfce above in addition to kde app config files generating "false mime" files which I removed along with KDE pkgs. - lead me to think I broke the libraries:
/lib64/libBrokenLocal-2.13.so
/lib64/libBrokenLocale.so.1

After referring to old post realized i forgot that 'libBrokenLocal' is just the name of this set of libraries.
Any way if anyone's glibc libraries are really broken here is the howto fix: http://rlworkman.net/howtos/glibc-recovery

Bottom line libraries are not broken!

Normal OutPut

I just noticed your first post makes references to Alien Bob's UNOFFICIAL (but very good) multilib packages.

Do you have them installed? If you have no need to multilib, DON'T install them.

If you intend to install them, they also come with an exhaustive installation guide. Read and understand this before even downloading anything else.
