Bug#726371: kde-config-touchpad: crashes on startup
mert@debian:~$ kcmshell4 kcm_synaptiks KCrash: Application 'kcmshell4' crashing... KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit sock_file=/home/mert/.kde/socket-debian/kdeinit4__0 Sorry, seems to be related to the infamous dotted/dotless I problem. But your report message claimed LANG=C, which LANG were you really using? Because I use a very ugly hack to work around this problem: mert@debian:~$ cat /usr/bin/python2.7 #! /bin/sh export LANG=C /usr/bin/python2.7.original $@ So reportbug uses LANG=C since it's a Python program. My terminals are not normally not LANG=C. mert@debian:~$ echo $LANG tr_TR.UTF-8 But I don't know how kcm_synaptiks got invoked and how it bypasses my script. I haven't heard of this problem before, I've read the wikipedia article but still no clue on how can this affect kcm_synaptics, can you please elaborate, add references to the problem or fixes that were applied before? Here are some resources I know explaining the issue: http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/turkish-i18n.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/03/whats-wrong-with-turkey.html http://haacked.com/archive/2012/07/05/turkish-i-problem-and-why-you-should-care.aspx/ I've also filed a bug report on Python package years ago, it has more background on the issue and some discussion specific to Python: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489740 It originally got fixed in Python 2.5 package but the fixes got lost after some upstream versions. Please don't hesisate to ask for further explanations on the issue. Thank you very much for your interest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
