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 .
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.
/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
