[Cooker] drakconf broken for normal users.

2002-07-18 Thread Tech At Mathco Dot Com

I tested this a few times and it seems drakconf won't run for
normal users. The permissions on /usr/bin/drakconf seems correct

-rwxr-xr-x1 root root28630 Jul 11 11:50 /usr/bin/drakconf*

When i run the program as root i recive these errors but the program does 
start.

[root@localhost root]# drakconf
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb4, with no

start byte) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/my_gtk.pm line 1025 (#1)
Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding rules.

One possible cause is that you read in data that you thought to be in
UTF-8 but it wasn't (it was for example legacy 8-bit data).  Another
possibility is careless use of utf8::upgrade().

(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined.  It was interpreted as a  or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.

To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
you used the undefined value in.  Note, however, that perl optimizes your
program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
appear literally in your program.  For example, that $foo is
usually optimized into that  . $foo, and the warning will refer to
the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
program.

When i try to run drakconf as a normal users all i get is this message
and the program never starts.

Known issue I believe.  Does mcc, userdrake, etc all do it as well?
Recompile userhelper with -O1 instead of -O2 and see if it makes a
difference.

Downgrade your locale and locale-?? rpm to -1mdk and see if those error
messages go away.  Search the archives, Ben Reser posted a message where
he has them available for download (at least the locale-en package).
