I'll try to explain more precisely what happen to have this bug:

- I install SchoolTool (in french) for testing on my laptop (Ubuntu 11.10 with 2GB RAM + SchoolTool 2.0.1 from Launchpad repository)
- I've made change for the administration user
- I've changed the name of the activity (Catégorie d'activités)
- I've change one of them in "Leçon" (Lesson) and I can save it.
- But now, every time i try to edit it, I have the same screen reporting this bug, and I can't change the "Leçon" in an other word.

That's it

Thanks Jean. it is a pretty common sort of unicode bug which we should be able to fix quickly.

Jean, I just fixed this in our development branch. Since I don't know when it could be released, you could download the attachment below and copy it manually.

Instructions:

---------------------------------

1. Download the attached file to your hard drive

2. Stop the schooltool service:

$ sudo service schooltool stop

3. Copy the new file to the appropriate place:

$ sudo cp /PATH/TO/YOUR/DOWNLOADED/FILE /usr/share/pyshared/schooltool/gradebook/browser/category.py

4. Start the schooltool service:

$ sudo service schooltool start

---------------------------------

I just tested this and you can edit the category back. Good luck :)

[Jean Migisha (migisha-jean)]

Thank you Douglas,

I gona try your patch, and give you a return.
15 min later.
I've try it, and for me it's OK.
Good job.

[Tom Hoffman (tom-hoffman)]

Incidentally, this file will be overwritten the next time SchoolTool is upgraded, but the change should be in our next release, so it should just keep working.
