loolkonsatntin: Which moblin is this?08:48
konsatntinlatest (august) version08:48
loolkonsatntin: That's not from us08:49
loolkonsatntin: Ask the people you got it from08:49
loolIt's because virtualbox is not emulating what they expect08:49
konsatntinok then another question. could i run ubuntu mid into virtualbox ?08:50
loolYes08:52
loolYou can even run Ubuntu Moblin Remix in virtualbox which is based on Moblin08:52
loolbut it's not really ready for you to try out; it's not starting up properly08:52
konsatntinok i'll start from mid release =)08:54
looldavidbarth: Hey!11:38
loolnjpatel:  Did you make progress on the translations issue with David?11:52
njpatellool: nope, I asked him some questions on the bug regarding the lack of a netbook-launcher.mo, but haven't heard anything back11:53
njpatellool: I'm still working on the bug, so hopefully some resolution soon11:53
loolnjpatel: What about the gnome-menus part?11:54
njpatellool: that's what I'm working on11:55
loolOk11:55
njpatellool: if I compile netbook-launcher on my desktop, it works fine. If i use the launcher installed from archives, it doesn't. I'm still trying to track down what's changed11:55
loolnjpatel: Does it have any reference to the gnome-menus mo dir?11:58
njpatellool: well, liblauncher is the part that deals with gnome-menus, so I'm wondering if the issue is in there11:59
njpatellool: i'm trying to track it down, I bet it's something really silly (hopefully)11:59
loolnjpatel: What I found sometimes help is running strings on the binary to see which dirs it has for locales12:01
njpatellool: good idea12:01
loolnjpatel: e.g. strings =gnome-panel |grep locale12:01
loollibnetbook-launcher doesn't have any12:02
loolnetbook-launcher has /usr/share/locale12:03
loolnjpatel: I tried using langsel to switch to french and it semi worked for me12:57
loolnjpatel: I got to see Navigateur Web Firefox in the apps list12:57
lool"Gestionnaire de photos f-spot"12:58
njpatellool: right, that only works for desktop files whose translations are still in the .desktop file afaik12:58
loolOh ok12:58
njpatellool: we really need to figure out what's going on with the .mo files that the launcher produces. They are being stripped but not being made part of the langpack for some reason12:58
loolnjpatel: You need to use a specific glib API to benefit of langpacks IIRC12:59
njpatellool: fixing that will fix both the netbook-launcher translations (strings specific to netbook-launcher) and the menu translations12:59
njpatellool: that's already covered by the fact that we just use gnome-menus12:59
loolglib patch is 01_gettext-desktopfiles.patch:12:59
loolOh right12:59
njpatellool: seriously, it's just the netbook-launcher.mo for the different languages thats the issue13:00
njpatellool: it could just be a packaging bug13:00
loolnjpatel: So gnome-menus isn't an issue anymore?13:00
njpatellool: nope, it never was. The issue is that, because netbook-launcher.mo doesn't exist for the installed languages, bindlocaledomain screws up the rest of the translations happening in the launcher. 13:01
njpatellool: looking at the packaging of the launcher in karmic, it seems that /usr/share/locale/* is in netbook-launcher.install, so they are definitely part of the package when it's built. The issue must be when the package is stripped then13:02
loolSorry phone call now13:05
njpatelnp13:05
njpateli just rebuilt netbook-launcher and the package contained the translations, so it's definitely the stripping of the translations that's causing it13:06
loolnjpatel: Oh good catch13:45
loolnjpatel: didn't think lack of netbook-launcher.mo would affect gnome-menus trasnlations13:45
loolnjpatel: So we really need to look into this langpack issue now13:45
njpatellool: it seems that, if you send the wrong domain information to bindlocaledomain or if that domain isn't available, it messes up the fallbacks too14:05
loolnjpatel: I killall-ed netbook-launcher and it didn't come back; shouldn't it be autorespawned?14:11
njpatellool: hmm, it isn't at the moment...maybe it should14:11
njpatellool: can you file a bug and I'll take a look next week14:11
loolSure14:12
