Hi, I am on gentoo and I have done a menu script to have an alsaplayer control in the panel. I modified some fvwm-crystal scripts for that.
The problem is at I use french locales: LANG="fr_CH.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="fr_CH.UTF-8" LC_ALL="fr_CH.UTF-8" and when I change to English locales, the volume and the speed control stop to work correctly. I have the following code: In Mixer-alsaplayer: DestroyMenu /Volume AddToMenu /Volume + " 0 db%" Mixer-Volume '1,0' + "-3 db%" Mixer-Volume '0,707' + "-6 db%" Mixer-Volume '0,5' + "-12 dB%" Mixer-Volume '0,25' + "-18 db%" Mixer-Volume '0,125' + "-24 db%" Mixer-Volume '0,0625' + " 0" Mixer-Volume '0,0' DestroyFunc Mixer-Volume AddToFunc Mixer-Volume + I Exec exec alsaplayer --volume $0 In Music-alsaplayer: DestroyFunc /Music-generator AddToFunc /Music-generator + I DestroyMenu recreate /Music + I AddToMenu /Music '$[gt.Volume]' Popup /Volume The problem is at when I change to English locales, alsaplayer want to get "." as decimal character, not a "," I try to change the code as follow: DestroyFunc Mixer-Volume AddToFunc Mixer-Volume + I SetEnv x "$0" + I PipeRead "echo SetEnv y $(( $[x]/1000000 ))" + I Exec exec xmessage x: $[x] + I Exec exec xmessage y: $[y] + I Exec exec $[A_Player] --volume $[y] DestroyMenu /Volume AddToMenu /Volume + " 0 db%" Mixer-Volume '1000000' + "-3 db%" Mixer-Volume '707000' + "-6 db%" Mixer-Volume '500000' + "-12 dB%" Mixer-Volume '250000' + "-18 db%" Mixer-Volume '125000' + "-24 db%" Mixer-Volume '62500' + "-30 db%" Mixer-Volume '31250' + "-36 db%" Mixer-Volume '15625' + " 0" Mixer-Volume '0' But the shell output integer number in y, it mean only 1 or 0. I try this too: + I PipeRead "echo SetEnv y $(( $[x]/1000000|bc-l ))" but it work the same, I get only 1 or 0 in y. And it is even worse, because when I run $ echo 500000/1000000|bc -l the shell output is always .50000000000000000000 and that even when I use the french locales. Is it possible to get this script to work in any locale case? Dominique
