Mageia 4 Any message on the freeze (or look on the tty console) ? Assignee:
bugsquad =>
thierry.vignaud No, but after selecting the Ukrainian language system has ceased to respond to key presses. Everything is just "stuck" and the installation process is not continued. And I'm sorry, I wanted to say "full DVD" and not "fool DVD".

yurchor Will this bug fixed in mageia5? I sure hope so. (In reply to Andrey Lashkeev from comment #4) > Will this bug fixed in mageia5? I sure hope so. The last changes to the bootloader look very promising. Let's hope that the first beta images will be fine. In Mageia 4.1 this bug is not corrected too. When I installing mageia5 alpha1, this Problem also occurred. You mean choosing the language from the DVD boot screen, before the installer actually starts? If yes that would be an isolinux issue.

I don't start install mageia when I choose the Ukrainian language.

thierry.vignaud In distribution mageia5 alpha 2, this problem is still not corrected. Previous comments are about 5alpha2, but as these also show it is a bug from syslinux, it must be present not only in pre18-1.mga5 but also in pre18-2.mga5 because changelog for syslinux has no relevant change which could prove it is fixed since pre18-1. Therefor we must conclude that 5beta1 is affected, because this has syslinux-6.03-0.pre18.2.mga5. Whiteboard:

sysadmin-bugs, tmb A hang like this ususally means either broken translation, broken font or we break it when we create the /isolinux/bootlogo file Could you chech that the translations here are ok (meaning no weird/invalid chars): gitweb.mageia.org/software/design/bootloader-theme/plain/po/uk.po @ennael, how do you regenerate the /isolinux/bootlogo ? maybe we miss some config Ok, I have removed quotes («») and apostrophes (â) from the translation (they should not be shown anyway). The translation should be clean now. I just uploaded mageia-gfxboot-theme with that fix Source RPM:
syslinux-6.03-0.pre18.2.mga5 =>
syslinux-6.03-0.pre18.2.mga5, mageia-gfxboot-theme It's not enough I fear... (just tested by a freshly rebuilt boot.iso) oops, bogus test Rebuilding mageia-gfxboot-theme w/o much of po/uk.po does fix the issue, so the bug is there... (In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #23) > Rebuilding mageia-gfxboot-theme w/o much of po/uk.po does fix the issue, so > the bug is there... Are there any uk-specific chars in the part that is left from uk.po? These are: Ñ -- Cyrillic i Ñ -- Cyrillic ye Thanks in advance for your answer. Created attachment 6438 [details]
this is the block of translations that cause the bug
and yes there such chars in it
bisection must continue
Could it be caused by the presence of quotes (') in two of the strings?

Translation without single quotes
Just to test (French with single quotes should work, but who knows, do not have any other ideas, except for the translation string length now).
Created attachment 6441 [details]
those 3 strings are the one that cause the bug to happen

1 Yuri, could you attach a patch instead? (In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #30) > Yuri, could you attach a patch instead? I have pushed the fixed (should be so) version into git. It looks like Samuel is right, it is a quotation mark. http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/design/bootloader-theme/commit/?id=39864c6eead5b1c749f6464fdb48dcdf61d10379 BTW your changes are not enough, it still blocks... There's another quotation mark in the file. (In reply to Samuel VERSCHELDE from comment #33) > There's another quotation mark in the file. French have them as well. This seems to be a problem just for the initial screen. (In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #32) > BTW your changes are not enough, it still blocks... Sorry. I have removed all apostrophes and quotes altogether. http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/design/bootloader-theme/commit/?id=69ed8bd9ad9f8f9b8e21261408d7cac94b905dc1 Can you try just once more? Thanks in advance. Still not enough. For testing, you can just locally build mageia-gfxboot-theme with fixes then update to it then rebootinh then press F2 in grub (In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #36) > Still not enough. > For testing, you can just locally build mageia-gfxboot-theme with fixes then > update to it then rebootinh then press F2 in grub New version pushed. http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/design/bootloader-theme/commit/?id=e9752510c6e14741c0621f470b10a5e08d435989 Can I ask for just one (last) try? Thnaks. That did it. Package uploaded. Status:
NEW =>
RESOLVED I tested MGA5 - Final Round 1 64b Classical iso in this respect. First test was a clean install, selecting Ukrainian from the GUI language selector and then following the normal installation process. Post install, Pressing F2 at the Grub2 (efi) menu had no effect on anything. MGA5 booted normally and everything that could be was displayed in Ukrainian. The second test was to update a MGA5 RC installation (done in English) to MGA5 Final R1 with Ukraininan. This also went uneventfully, other than that the installer asked if I wanted the standard folders to be renamed to their Ukrainian equivalents. This is being written from the Ukrainian installation instance. I quite like it and may well continue using it. Well done translators! CC:
