anaconda-tb-xM5jWI showing invalid locale: sr_RS.utf_8_latin
libreport didn't attach any logs because of an HTTP error. This log shows:
Local variables in innermost frame:
locale: sr_RS.utf_8_latin
category: 5
This looks like a python-libs bug: >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES, 'sr_RS.UTF-8@latin') 'sr_RS.UTF-8@latin' >>> locale.getlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES) ('sr_RS', 'utf_8_latin') See: Bug 870761, Comment 3. *** Bug 875389 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #3) > *** Bug 875389 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The reproducer for Bug 875389 produces a slightly different traceback from the one this bug, but the invalid locale is the same: sr_RS.utf_8_latin. The reproducer is: Create a 12 GB empty disc image. Install from the Live CD. Select Serbian (Latin, Serbia) for the install language. Click Installation Destination. Click Done. Exception occurs: Error: unsupported locale setting Command-line: $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-2.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Beta/TC7/Fedora-18-Beta-TC7-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse From the traceback, decorators.py has a call to setlocale() that is from a thread, but setlocale() is not thread-safe: "setlocale() is not thread-safe on most systems." http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/locale.html#locale.setlocale Likewise, localization.py has a call to setlocale(): $ grep -rn setlocale anaconda-18.28-1/pyanaconda/ anaconda-18.28-1/pyanaconda/localization.py:415: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') This is just an attempt to make sure errors coming out of libparted are not translated, so the traceback contains an English language string that's more useful for developers. I'd prefer we just catch the error and not worry about it instead of causing a traceback. The untranslated message is just a luxury. This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. 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 prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 to Fedora 18's end of life. 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 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. |
