Working with translated logs - shouldn't syslog keep an untranslated copy?
Hi guys. Recently, while reviewing lots of logs for bugs in msttcorefonts I have been struck by an idea. Lots of these logs were translated to local languages (german, french, spanish, chinese, ...) which makes it a lot harder to troubleshoot the issues since most people do not know all these languages at the same time. So I came up with this idea: can Syslog be configured or patched so it would keep 2 sets of logs? - 1 translated for the user, and another 1 untranslated (in english) for reporting bugs. This would make bug troubleshooting much easier, since all logs could be sent in 1 language, also apport could be patched then to send only the english logs instead of the translated ones. What do you think about it? Would it be worth to implement it? English is the lingua franca of bug reporting so I think it would be worth it, even if the size of the logs on the disk would be doubled.

Re: Installer shouldn't be able to install grub on ntfs partitions
Please file a bug about it. 2009/10/19 Alan Searchwell bigdu...@hotmail.com: I always use the advanced options in the installer to install grub to the root partition of the distro I'm installing. Since I'm dual booting with windows, I then use grub4dos to boot into linux. This gives me a quick and easy method to restore the ability to boot linux after a Windows re-install since all that is required to set up grub4dos is to copy a file (grldr) to the Windows boot partition and edit Windows startup menus to launch that file. Today I did an installation that had a weird partition table. The entries were: /dev/sda1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1276 7476 49809532+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 1276 6024 38146311 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 6025 7269 1431 83 Linux /dev/sda7 7270 7476 1662696 82 Linux swap / Solaris Notice, no sda3 or sda4. When I chose the advanced options during install, I was given the option of installing grub to sda, sda1 (Microsoft Windows XP Professional), sda5 or sda6. Since I was expecting the Linux partition to be sda4, I got confused and thought that sda6 must be the swap partition (dumb me) so I installed grub to sda5. This has made my NTFS partition inaccessible with no easy way to correct this mistake. The installer is smart enough to know that grub can't be installed to swap space so, the swap partition is not offered as an option for installing grub. From today's experience NTFS partitions are not suitable for installing grub so they should not be offered as options either. IMHO Ubuntu's installer does a fine job of saving users from themselves and this little extra check would take that protection one step further. _ Keep your friends updated—even when you’re not signed in. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_5:092010 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss -- ## Przemysław Kulczycki Azrael Nightwalker ## # jabber: azrael[na]jabster.pl | tlen: azrael29a # ### www: http://reksio.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~azrael/ ### -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
