nvidia-glx-config needs locale set to C

can you try:

sudo sh -x nvidia-glx-config enable

and send me the entire output?

It can be extremely long.

Thanks
Fabio

From the submitter:

+ set -e
++ whoami
+ '[' root '!=' root ']'
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend nvidia-glx-config enable
cp: `AM': specified destination directory does not exist
Try `cp --help' for more information.

Matt do you have any idea why debconf can fail in that way?

That's not debconf failing, it's the config script. When the debconf confmodule
re-execs the calling script, you lose the -x flag.

You need to edit nvidia-glx-config and put 'set -x' as the second line, then run
'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable'. 'sh -x' won't do what you want.

This still does not explain why AM is generated in that date reference.

 date +%F-%X
2004-10-16-18:17:41

that's according to date man page.

possibly a lang setting that changes the documented behaviour?

       %X locale’s time representation (%H:%M:%S)

You are asking for the time representation appropriate for the locale.

Matt is there anybody working on this package? the fix is trivial but i don't
want to clash
with other people work.

Fabio

I am not aware of anyone working on it.

Hi Tim,
      can you be so kind to give me the output of the following commands:

env

LC_ALL=C date +%F-%X

date +%F-%H:%M:%S

Thanks
Fabio

PS Please try to do it asap so that i can get the fix into warty.

output of env

LC_ALL=C date +%F-%X
2004-10-17-23:55:33

date +%F-%H:%M:%S

Thanks a lot Tim!

waiting for approval to upload the fix :-)

Fabio

glad I could be of service!! Ubuntu is really shaping up! :)

Fixed with linux-restricted-modules-2.6.8.1_2.6.8.1.3-4 upload.
