Description of problem: System-config-printer (nor tui nor gui version) didn't start with non-us locale (ru_RU.UTF-8 in my case). It's throw python exceptions information finished with ---- File "/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py", line 200, in import_needed which = which_spooler () File "/usr/share/printconf/util/cups_import.py", line 195, in which_spooler return which UnboundLocalError: local variable 'which' referenced before assignment ---- Steps to Reproduce: 1. set locale as mine: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 2. run system-config-printer on clean install 3. have a fun :)
Created attachment 108654 [details] simple patch to fix this problems I simply add LC_ALL=C to all os.system calls.
Please confirm the version you are using. The LANG variable overrides all LC_xxx variables, and so as far as I can see your patch has no effect. 'test3' is for a test release of Fedora Core. Do you mean to report a bug against Fedora Core 3? If so please correct the "version" field.
yes, LANG variable override all LC_xxx variables except of LC_ALL. But if LC_ALL set to some value (like in my case) then redefinition of LANG do nothing. You can look at glibc sources for check this. For example: > LC_ALL=C LANG=C cal December 2004 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 > LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 LANG=C cal ÐекабÑÑ 2004 ÐÑ Ðн ÐÑ Ð¡Ñ Ð§Ñ ÐÑ Ð¡Ð± 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Ah, thanks. I'd got it the wrong way round. LC_ALL overrides LANG as you say. Fixed in CVS.
