Re: Puppy-Setup: change to UTF-8 does not get permanent

Is there something wrong?
Thanks for a hint.
Yes, there is something wrong, I have been trying to reproduce this in a similiar way.

racy 5.2.90 pfix=ram
chosen LANG: de_DE (without utf8)
saved to a new save file called racysave-de_DE.2fs

then reboot
and chosen racysave-de_DE.2fs

# cat /proc/cmdline
video=640x480 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=normal pdev1=sda3
#
# echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
#

repeated chooselocale (de_DE) several times

My observation:
change to non-UTF-8 does not get permanent

I don´t think this is specific to German.
Other languages, please test: changing to/from utf-8

Hope this will help locating the bug
I am not having any problem.

Running as a German user, I used quickcountry (symlink to quicksetup) to untick and tick the UTF-8 checkbox. There was no problem.

The problem may occur if you altered the initrd.gz the first time, to say de_DE-UTF-8, then that will be used at a reboot. QuickCountry/QuickSetup will offer to change the initrd.gz if you change the UTF-8 checkbox.

just one example:

the Bcrypt entry should say 'cifrado de archivos' (file encryption), the existing translation says 'encriptado de aplicaciones' (application encryption) -- the word 'encriptar', is so un-Spanish :roll:

langpack_es installs the new translations, but existing fuzzy translations remain
Ok, I have removed the "Name[es]" entry from rootfs-skeleton/usr/share/applications/Bcrypt-file-encryption.desktop in Woof.

I will upload Woof soon.
Thanks. The attached file contains the remaining fixes, you can replace the files in Woof by those in this .tar.gz so that you don't have to open and edit each file individually:

I have uploaded Wary and Racy 5.2.91 (5.3RC2), see announcement:

The last two posts above got missed out. Sorry, I will look at those soon, thanks for the info.

Fresh frugal install of 5.2.91. All basics working on initial boot.
Only problems are those mentioned earlier .... not really that big of a deal.As long as the PPM and browsers work I guess I can live without Wget..... :)

Any chance of a faster place to download Wary/Racy.

At other download sites for puppies: I can get similar sized puppies in about 4 minutes My brother can download them about as fast as he can click his mouse.

It takes more than 20 minutes to download a standard sized puppy from the ibiblio site, no matter how fast our personal connections are.

Would you consider allowing wary/racy to also be hosted at one of these faster download locations?

Morning Sage,

Download from this mirror which is must faster than ibiblio:

I think that I sent you a pm to try the '-4' option with wget. Have you tried that?

That is, insert '-4' like this:

# wget -4 <url>

I sugest that you check with your local university to see if they are mirroring some part of ibiblio, if so it should be easy to get them to add a couple of extra's (puppylinux and quirky) if they are not already doing so. You can also always try M.I.T. or Berkley.

ibiblio has been slow for some time now, I've found that http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/ is often much faster than ibiblio when my local http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/, here in australia has had problems.

Find some bugs guys!

I am merrily using this pup, and apart from a couple of little things that I found right off, all is well. :happy:

There is the mysterious wget/ping failure problem, that so far has only affected one person.

I have some updated langpacks that I will upload soon:

fr 20120330 (esmourguit)
pl 20120327 (robwoj44)

I want to freeze everything, essential bug fixes only. Hold over unessential changes to later. Maybe can get the 5.3-final out in a couple of days?

Anyway, please play with the apps, let us know if anything crashes and burns.

Good. /usr/sbin/delayedrun calls /usr/sbin/download_file to download the flash player, and this already has the '-4' parameter for wget.

The -4 forces wget to use ipv4 instead of the default of ipv6 (in recent versions of wget).

So the only remaining problem is with 'ping'. Earlier on I looked at the ping man page here:
http://linux.die.net/man/8/ping

...which does not even mention ipv4 or ipv6.

However, I have just down another search, and found an example that uses -4 with ping:

# ping -4 www.google.com

...please try this!
...in fact, if it solves the problem I will put that option into the script permanently.
...if anyone tries this and it doesn't work for you, let me know that too.

Some of the "other" distros use ipv6 by default in their browsers and it's necessary to disable it before I can even get online.

Believe that solves my little problem. Thanks. :)

Another bug bites the dust!

"ping -4" doesn't seem to do any harm. Hopefully no one will report that it messes things up for them.

I have put the -4 option for ping into these scripts:
Pudd, check_internet, video_upgrade_wizard.
