Description of problem: I use a non-UTF8 locale (ru_RU.CP1251), and system-config-services does not display service status correctly. If run from console, it displays: /usr/sbin/system-config-services:432: GtkWarning: gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert: assertion `g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed buf.set_text(message) when you select any service. Another problem is that if you run system-config-services and select Actions->Delete Service, it will print in console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/system-config-services", line 657, in on_delete_service_clicked if verify_delete(self.current_selected) == gtk.RESPONSE_YES: AttributeError: Gui instance has no attribute 'current_selected' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.17-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R system-config-services 2. select Actions -> Delete Service Additional info: Here's a patch that fixes both these problems: - The first problem is solved by applying correct translation to the text that comes from external console tools. The incoming text is in system locale, and should be translated to UTF-8. - LC_ALL=C is not enough to switch the application to English. There's also the LANG and LC_MESSAGES variables which also affect the language of the output. If we get the output of chkconfig --list in the wrong encoding, we're stuck. - The problem with "Delete service" is solved by setting the current_selected member to a sane value at application startup. - I have fixed the translation logic by re-using the 'cat' object from rhpl.translate, which is imported anyway instead of creating a new translation object.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'. 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 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
