[SOLVED] mcc problem: closing when typing "q"

[magfan]

Hello,

even upgrading from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2 did not resolve an annoying problem with the Mageia Control Center. When ever I press the key "q" in the konsole window mcc shuts down immediately. So I cannot type something like "rpm -qa | grep ***" because mcc shuts down already after the letter "q". Also the menu shows that "q" instead of "Ctrl+q" is used to close mcc. How can I change this behavior?

Assuming the only difference between your drakconf in German, and mine in English is the translate file, try this.

I am not sure if the file is in clear text or not, but if you take a look at /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/drakconf.mo

and look for the text

Code: Select all

#: ../control-center:626
   #, c-format
   msgid "<control>Q"
   msgstr "<STRG>Q"

replace STRG with control

You might like to raise a bug so the translate team can correct it.

I do not find lines like those you mentioned in drakconf.mo. Even decompiling to drakconf.po does not help. Are there any other configuration files for drakconf?

I looked up the source code on svn at. svnweb.mageia.org/soft/control-center/trunk/po/de.po?revision=3286&view=markup

As far as I know this is the only file unique to drakconf in German. If you look at the other translations they do not translate <control>Q

[magfan]

OK, but on my system there is only drakconf.mo installed. From this file I could decompile drakconf.po but this file does not contain the lines of code you mention. The file you refer to is something like "de.po". There are many files with this name on my system. But no one related to mcc. What could I try?

[djennings]

The other way to fix this problem is edit the code so it does not try to translate the Ctl+Q at all
Try this
in /usr/sbin/drakconf.real around line 624

Code: Select all

my @menu_items = (
                  [ N("/_File"), undef, undef, undef, '<Branch>' ],
                  [ N("/_File") . N("/_Quit"), N("<control>Q"), \&quit_global, undef, '<Item>', N("Quit") ],

Change it to

Code: Select all

my @menu_items = (
                  [ N("/_File"), undef, undef, undef, '<Branch>' ],
                  [ N("/_File") . N("/_Quit"), "<control>Q", \&quit_global, undef, '<Item>', N("Quit") ],

Great! Thanks a lot! It is working now.

So, I should mark this thread as [solved]. But how to create a bug report for this?

Glad it is working. That fix is just a quick hack, not a proper solution which should be done in the translate file.
