This Racy with internationalization changes seems to be great - thanks Barry!

Did updates from 5.2.2.6 to 5.2.2.3 on three machines. Every time german localization of desktop-icons falled back to english (menu entries okay).

Can't see why...

which has included French (thanks to Argolance :D ) and German mo files.

In momanager there is no chance to edit or include it into langpack. :cry:

retrovol is a binary executable.

jwm is also a binary executable but it is handled by momanager.

This not meant as anything in the direction of a bug report
Just my observation.
Maybe it is a good solution to NOT offer everything for translation
No problem, retrovol is now managed by MoManager, you need to get retrovol.pot from here:

However, does the font only need to be reloaded when the locale has been changed?

At first boot, locale will be en_US, then you use QuickSetup to change the locale. Then, when you exit from X, the correct font will not be loaded.

However, after having created a save-file, after reboot, the correct console font will be loaded, so at exit from X, it should not need reloading?

Based on the above reasoning, I have modified xwin.

I have modified quicksetup to load correct console font if locale is changed. So, xwin should not need any change.
Will upload Woof soon.

I just did a test. Running 5.2.2.7, I changed to de_DE, then edited /etc/DISTRO_SPECS and changed the version back to 5.2.2.6, then rebooted.

After reboot, desktop icons are still 'de'.

Well, 5.2.2.6 and 5.2.2.3 are alpha releases, there must have been something odd in them that upset the version upgrade of the save-file.

Oh yes, there was, the SSS translation method changed.

Now that the SSS stuff has settled down, upgrading of save-file should be ok.

Wary/Racy 5.3beta1 (5.2.2.7)

#29 Post by Billtoo »

I compiled and made a sfs file of vlc-2.0.0.
I tested it in the new racy-5.2.2.7 beta on a pc with a nvidia
graphics card and a netbook with ati hd4200 graphics.

The pc with the nvidia card needed at least the nouveau driver
installed, it works fine with the proprietary nvidia driver too.
The netbook with the ati hd4200 worked fine with the vesa driver or
the proprietary ati driver.

The vlc-2.0.0-i686-racy.sfs file also has the vlc_NLS-2.0.0-i686.pet
and the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0-i686.pet included in it.

This new 2.0.0 version has support for dvb but I haven't tested that.

It should work in recent racy and wary releases.

EDIT: The dvb support isn't working.

The download link is:

/usr/local/Apps/ROX-Filer/Options.xml is opened in geany.

I have no idea how to proceed
Edit `ROX-Filer/Options.xml' so that your language is listed, restart the filer and select it from the Options box (see the Translations section).
quoted from
http://rox.sourceforge.net/Manual/Manua ... .html#i18n

I have rox.mo available.
Have tried it
copied into
/usr/local/Apps/ROX-Filer/Messages/de/LC_MESSAGE
moved to
/usr/local/Apps/ROX-Filer/Messages/de.mo
and
/usr/local/Apps/ROX-Filer/Messages/de.gmo

without success.

I think all (I have checked some) translations for this Options.xml are in the mo file.

After restart of X ( :wink: :wink: :wink: ) options are translated

Ah, the falling-back-to-English problem occurs when you change the SFS layers, such as loading the 'devx' SFS.

The problem is in /etc/rc.d/rc.update and has now been fixed.

I don't know how I manage to have such dumb typos sometimes!

...I guess that coding 10+ hours straight might be a contributing factor!

Samba for wary/racy

With the Samba Simple Setup gui

samba_full-3.5.12-wary-racy.pet 36M

It's the full enchilada with docs and dev. It's still large split so I left it all in... libs and bins are stripped.

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-swat --enable-cups --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-statedir=/var/locks --with-configdir=/etc/samba
It would need inetd server for SWAT functionality. I didn't compile that.

3.6X wont compile due to older glibc, but this is as of Oct 2011, so recent enough.

I did a full install of racy 5.2.2.8 to an acer desktop pc.
The CPU frequency scaling utility isn't working, it doesn't show any
options.
I copied the wcpufreq file from slacko into /usr/sbin and it's
working now.

I clicked on the install icon and used the sfs downloader, I used
ftp.nluug.nl repo to download the sfs files and it worked well, fast.

On my full install there was an error message that the sfs was not
found or was the wrong type but they were downloaded to /mnt/home. I
installed Shinobar's sfs_load-1.3.pet and used it to load the sfs
files, it worked great.

EDIT: I've been using this for a few hours now and no problems, it's working well, and fast.

console font again

#40 Post by L18L »

xorgwizard running in console seems missing the new console font .

I have noticed this because ö and ü had no correct display in dialogs.

prepending 1 line before line 335
zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont #120227
#do this code block if X is running...

and before 1570
zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont #120227
dialog --no-collapse --title "$(gettext 'Xorg Video Wizard')" --yes-label "$(gettext 'FINISHED')" --no-label "$(gettext 'Tweak')" --yesno "$(gettext 'Report on X test:')
`eval_gettext \"Resolution: \\\${XTEST}x\\\${YTEST} pixels\"`

and ö was correct !

console font has to be (re)loaded independent of locale changing ?!

Some ö´s in xorgwizard:

# pwd
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES
# msgunfmt xorgwizard.mo | grep lö
msgstr "Es ist möglich, Bildschrmauflösungen zu ändern, ohne X zu verlassen:"
msgstr "MEHR: weitere Bildschirmauflösungen anzeigen..."
msgstr "Ändern der Auflösung"
msgstr "Auflösung: ${XTEST}x${YTEST} pixels"
#

The last one is displayed as Auflölsung. Very strange.

Of course, this loadfont hack is just a hack for now...

Test yourself, lang_pack_de attached

-------------------------------------
edited concerning usability:

in dialog the buttons are always visible now so there is no more need for text like
TAB TAB ENTER to choose this or that...

Maybe just 1 new hint:
Use PAGE DOWN key to see entire text...
