Description

I have the same problem with french Fedora 28 Workstation with Gnome.
- gnome-software 3.28.2
- flatpak 0.11.7
Using gnome-software to install gimp 2.10 via github.org results in gimp talking english (french expected) whatever the language option set in gimp preferences
A clue maybe, journalctl reports :
mai 20 11:15:54 monalisa gimp-2.10[2593]: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
mai 20 11:15:54 monalisa gimp-2.10[2593]: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
But if gimp is installed via cli :
flatpak install flathub org.gimp.GIMP
Then the locale is ok.
I'm "happy" that I am not the only one that have this problem on my Fedora 29. And it works exactly the same - I am installing an app by gnome-software (GIMP or GNOME Games or Recipes or something...) and it hasn't my system locale (Polish). But Spotify works fine - when i set Polish in Spotify's setting, it works. In other programs it doesnt. Maybe there are more apps that works good, but it is still a problem. Furthermore, Ubuntu doesn't have that problem - locales work fine there (even when installing GIMP by gnome-software) And I am suprised, because installing by cli solves the problem. Didnt know that This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
