GPM systray: UPS icons can't be found
Last modified: 2007-01-11 07:48:15 UTC
Please describe the problem: it seems there is a glitch in the ups icon lookup. gpm should search ie gpm-ups-100-charging.png, but the ups part seems translated. as a result, gpm search for gpm-onduleur-100-charging.png (onduleur is the french work for ups), which obviously can't be found. Steps to reproduce: 1. use a non US system 2. plug an ups, possibly through addon-hid-ups, or through nut's hal support 3. check gpm systray Actual results: the systray icon is not found (got a red cross icon) Expected results: get the defined icon, ie gpm-ups-100-charging.png Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
the problem sits src/gpm-power.c -> gpm_power_kind_to_string(). These string should really not be translated at all! don't know how to avoid gettext'ization there.
Already fixed, sorry for the inconvenience: 2006-12-31 Pascal Terjan <pterjan@linuxfr.org> * src/gpm-power.c: (gpm_power_kind_to_string): Don't localise string as this is used internally for icon name.
merci Pascal. Sorry for not having digged enough the Changelog. This bug was against the package in ubuntu feisty (2.17.4) and the above mentionned fix was done a bit later. I'll bug ubuntu.
