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!
Ankit

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!

Attached screenshot is taken for Gujarati.

It's verified with kexec-tools-2.0.0-132.el6.x86_64. WORKING. FIXED.

Thanks to all who worked hard on this to fix it.
