Created attachment 298870 [details] sceenshot showing error messages i could only show them through screenshot because keyboard is not working properly in virt manager so i could connect to my bugzilla account and paste this text.
Looks like some sort of internationalization thing maybe, since I can't reproduce it here in US English. What language is this? BTW, I transcribed the python exception below: KeyError: u'\u033c\u03bd\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1' Also, what version of gnome-desktop is this? I'm running gnome-desktop-2.22.0-2.fc9.x86_64 here
Language is Greek -version of gnome-desktop is the latest from rawhide (march 23). Maybe you are right. I will check gnome-desktop greek translation for any errors.
Update: greek translation seems is ok. http://l10n.gnome.org/POT/gnome-desktop.HEAD/gnome-desktop.HEAD.el.po msgfmt -cv -o /dev/null gnome-desktop.HEAD.el.po 69 translated messages.
Apparently it is this message, #: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865 msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s" msgstr "%(όνομα): %(τιμές)" The correct translation should be #: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:865 msgid "%(name)s: %(value)s" msgstr "%(name)s: %(value)s" This might actually give grief to other languages as well. Am fixing now.
Ok, fixed upstream. There is also a second occurrence, #: ../gnome-about/gnome-about.in:920 msgid "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s" msgstr "<b>%(name)s:</b> %(value)s"
Fixed in 2.22.0-3.fc9. Fixed for mk, too.
Created attachment 301733 [details] crashes again another similar error appeared with latest rawhide gnome-desktop package (see screenshot )
Thats unrelated, looks like a cairo dependency issue. Please make sure you have the latest pixman installed.
ok updated to latest pixman. Works fine.
Behdad, we should probably bump the pixmap dependency in cairo to avoid this.
Just tried fedora-9-pr-i686 live cd and aformentioned about dialog caused hard lockup of ui at least, not able to verify any further. Config: english, vesa for nv on acer core 2 notebook.
The cairo -> pixman dependency is correct now, so I am going to close this bug. If there are further problems with about gnome, please file them against gnome-desktop.
