From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: An attempt to run either redhat-config-printer or redhat-config-soundcard results in python errors: ------------------------------ CUT HERE ----------------------------- [root@xyclone etc]# redhat-config-soundcard Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-soundcard/redhat-config-soundcard.py", line 31, in ? from rhpl.translate import _, N_ File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/translate.py", line 197, in ? cat = i18n() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/translate.py", line 75, in __init__ self.setDomain(domain) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/translate.py", line 134, in setDomain self.iconv = iconv.open(self.codeset, encoding) ValueError: (22, 'Invalid argument') ------------------------------ CUT HERE ----------------------------- Current setting of LANG environment variable is "en_US.UTF-8". This system was updated from 7.2 to 8.0, it is not a fresh install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up the system into GUI mode 2. Log in as root 3. run "redhat-config-printer" or "redhat-config-soundcard" Actual Results: Python errors as described above Expected Results: I would imagine the GUI or command-line config utility would run. As it stands, I've had to run CUPS to configure my printer and I can't configure my soundcard. Additional info: To be honest, don't you think using python for this sort of thing is a bit silly? Python is undoubtedly the most cryptic language I have ever seen, and I worked on LISP systems for 10 years.
