Running it like this is a (barely sufficient) workaround: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 authconfig-gtk Yes, this means you have to puzzle through the Japanese (or if you didn't click the Japanese checkbox at Fedora Core install time, then puzzle through some garbage), but OTOH the OK and Cancel buttons are actually onscreen and clickable... (Changing "Severity" from Normal to Low because I now have a workaround) Hi Barry, the original interface was designed apparently for 1024x768+ resolutions. I do believe that there are plenty of people who need to use authconfig-gtk in a lower resolution which is your case. I modified the interface from single column design to multi-column and tested it on 800x600 and worked fine for me. I also modified confusing keyboard shortcuts. Adding attachment which allows you to test the new interface. greetings, Jindrich Created attachment 103068 [details]
to test it, copy it to /usr/share/authconfig and launch authconfig-gtk
Does it work for you?
Things are a bit busy for me right now, so I probably won't be able to test this until this weekend. (I'll test it earlier if I can however.) Ok, I've tried out the new interface, it seems to work with 800x600 resolution. Cool. (This is on FC2, not FC3-test or FC-devel. I'll retest on FC-devel if you wish.) Wow, the new interface even works on 640x480! (You can drag the window from side to side, and while you can't see the entire thing at once at 640x480, you can see well more than enough to get work done.) Nice to head that, authconfig is coming with the new interface from the version 4.6.5 which I'll make available in rawhide. The new version of authconfig with enhanced interface and NIS configuration should be available in the end of this week. HTH, Jindrich *** Bug 122468 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
