RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-28 13:57:49 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 11 A S Alam 2010-07-28 14:34:57 UTC 
it is effecting all supported language, so requesting for Blocker
Comment 12 Cong Wang 2010-07-29 04:31:50 UTC 
Is this a firstboot problem or kexec-tools problem? Note that firstboot_kdump.py is provided by kexec-tools.
Comment 13 Cong Wang 2010-07-29 05:34:04 UTC 
I think this is due to that firstboot use /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/firstboot.mo, while kexec-tools install the po/mo file as /usr/share/locale/$LANG/LC_MESSAGES/kexec-tools.mo.

I guess not. Because firstboot calls s-c-date, s-c-user, etc tools as well, where translations are picked up from mo files of those individual apps. So, in the case of kdump screen it should use kexec-tools.mo only, rather than looking firstboot.mo.

Anyways, someone might want to closely look at this bug.

Thanks!

I don't know why firstboot calls s-c-XXX here, for kexec-tools, s-c-kdump is a different package which should not be called by firstboot. And it is kexec-tools which provides firstboot_kdump.py and kexec-tools.mo, not s-c-kdump.

And strace shows firstboot even doesn't look for kexec-tools.mo.
Comment 16 Martin Gracik 2010-07-29 10:09:28 UTC 
Hi,

it is looking for firstboot.mo because in /usr/share/firstboot/modules/firstboot_kdump.py there is _ = lambda x: gettext.ldgettext("firstboot", x) instead of the proper ...ldgettext("kexec-tools", x).
So change that line and it will work.

Cool, let's know once you fix this and make a new build.

Thanks!
