ubuntuone-preferences freezes with Norwegian locale

Hi. It appears the translation is broken, and causes this error. As a temporary workaround, you can run ubuntuone-preferences with a different locale from the command line, if you need to access it. It appears the Nynorsk translation is ok, and the default is of course fine. Running "LANG=C ubuntuone-preferences" in a terminal will get you the default English strings. I've changed this as affecting Ubuntu Translations, and it should hopefully be fixed in a language pack update soon.

The format specifiers in this string had been translated: «%(used)0.1f %(type)s Used (%(percent)0.1f%%)»
I've fixed it; only translated the word «Used».

https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubuntuone-client/+pots/ubuntuone-client/nb/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=used

Didn't the fix work? Still having trouble here. Running «LANG=C ubuntuone-preferences» doesn't work for me.

Okay, after changing my system language to English the ubuntuone-preferences doesn't freeze anymore.

Still, the sync never actually starts. The only thing «u1sdtool -s» tells me is either "waiting before try connecting again" or "doing auth dance".

I still cannot make ubuntuone-preferences work with Norwegian locale. Same error. As of now, all updates applied, including -proposed. LANGUAGE=C ubuntuone-preferences works.

Fixed in latest language pack update from -proposed:
language-pack-gnome-nb-base 1:10.04+20100714

i got it working
i updated to latest version of ubuntuone-client via Update manager, and still it didnt work.
then i lookd a bit on the code, and made a litle change. works fine for me

Øyvind,

Thanks a lot for confirming that the language pack in lucid-proposed fixed this.

That language pack was not uploaded to lucid-updates because there was no feedback from the Norwegian team on the call for testing [1]. However, I'd very much like to release it, as it contains such an important fix.

Do you think you, or someone from the Norwegian team could test it following the simple procedure outlined in [1] and give some feedback? If the feedback is positive, we could proceed to upload the package to lucid-updates and all Norwegian users could benefit from the fix.

I've done the tests for nb_NO; looks fine and ubuntuone-preferences no longer freezes.

Do I need the language pack mentioned above to get Ubuntu One Prefs working properly? I am norwegian.

Dag

I see this is marked as 'fix committed', but where was it committed?

Dag,

Please follow the instructions from David Planella on the bug comments.

It is marked as Fix Committed for the ubuntu-translations project,
meaning that the Norwegian translation team fixed the translation in
Launchpad (it was not an application bug), but the fix in Lucid will not
arrive until the next language pack is shipped.

IIRC the archive is frozen prior to the 10.04.1 point release on the
17th, so we'll probably have to wait until after that to release the
Norwegian language pack with the fix.

The Maverick language pack should already contain the fix.

I've done the test procedures outlined in [1] ('Tests' and 'Packages to
test'). Everything OK. I've been running with the updated lang-pack from
-proposed ever since it got uploaded, and I haven't noticed any
regressions at all.

The new lucid language pack was released 4 days ago (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-gnome-nb), so I'm marking this as Fix Released.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, and do report if you see any other issue with translations.
