Bug 404467 – x11-misc/lightdm - lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf syntax error

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description A. Person 2012-02-19 03:08:13 UTC]

/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf reads:

xft-hintstyle=slight

but should read:

xft-hintstyle=hintslight

[Comment 1 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2012-02-20 18:30:21 UTC]

emerge -pv lightdm-gtk-greeter please

[Comment 2 A. Person 2012-02-22 19:01:58 UTC]

I tried with it keyworded in /etc/portage/package.keywords and it only removed the last three lines:

# emerge -pv lightdm-gtk-greeter

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:

Ok. It seems like the Gentoo specific gtk greeter needs a bit of update. I will fix that soon

Thank you.

[Comment 5 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2012-02-23 23:45:05 UTC]

Fixed in -r1

[Comment 6 A. Person 2012-02-24 18:43:03 UTC]

I can't restart lightdm/xdm with the latest lightdm version but that's likely an upstream problem.  Thank you for fixing this.
