I opened the warehouse at 5:45PM
Volunteers attending: Adrian, Dan, Mike
Testing results on the two systems for Carol:
HP Computer: Was unable to get sound to work. Ran out of time to work on it as
we were also working on the Spanish language setups.
Gateway Computer: Changed cdrom drive twice will still not open reliably, or in
some cases at all. Otherwise the system seems to be OK.
Spanish language localization: Adrian and I logged in using Spanish-Mexican.
Most things seemed to be OK, however, it does not appear that the Vector Linux
people did anything to localize any of the bash scripts like VASM. In addition
some of the programs also do not appear to support the language env variables.
Adrian translated the menu for VASM and I modified the script so it would work
from the desktop and put it on the HP systems root desktop if you run it is
will show a Spanish root menu. The changes are hardcoded into the script so I
didn't want to mess with the VASM script in /sbin. I will look for a better
solution the the bash script problem. The quick and dirty solution would be to
code a conditional statement into the bash scripts to switch to Spanish if the
LANG env variable is set to Spanish and remain in English otherwise. The ideal
solution would be to recode all the user interactive scripts to use GNU gettext
to support full
localization. I have installed VL 6.0 on a test system at home and will work
on the scripts over the coming weekend where I have Internet access. I will
probably take the quick and dirty approach for now unless gettext looks like it
will work easier.
Dan worked hard on installing Vector 6.0 on several systems, but cdrom and hard
drive problems prevented him from completing any of the systems.
Adrian had to leave at 8:00. Dan and I stayed until 8:30 modifying the VASM
script and sorting out problems. I also assisted Dan with installing Puppy
Linux on his laptop.
Thank you to all who attended!
