Firefox (xulrunner) printing problem when using Finnish (fi) translation

[mikko]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

error message every time I try to print in Firefox to pdf-file or printer:

XML-jäsennysvirhe: virhe käsiteltäessä ulkoista olioviittausta
URL: chrome://global/content/printProgress.xul
Rivinumero 6, sarake 67:<!DOCTYPE window SYSTEM "chrome://global/locale/printProgress.dtd">
------------------------------------------------------------------^

Added from a later comment:"Printing works ok if set Xulrunner (fi) to "off" in tools- add-ons -languages menu." -> a confirmed problem in xulrunner / xulrunner translations.

[mikko (mikko-)]

Printing in other programs works fine.

[Bernhard J. M. Grün (bernhard-gruen)]

Same problem here (using german locales). Didn't test other locales for now.

[mikko (mikko-)]

printing and all other things works fine if I launch firefox from terminal:

LANG=en_US.utf8 firefox

[Felix Braun (felix-braun)]

This bug seems to be fixed as of today's update (at least for the German locale)

[mikko (mikko-)]

I have this bug still (Finnish locale)

[mikko (mikko-)]

Printing works ok if set Xulrunner (fi) to "off" in tools- add-ons -languages menu.

I Have same problem. Mine printer is Samsung CLP-500 with samba.

Note Samsung CLP-500

If you install without internet printing is OK, but Firefox is english (Not finnish).

[mikko (mikko-)]

Peran, do you have also this problem

[peran (pertti-suomalainen)]

Yes, I have same problem.
I have installed four computer and every computer has same "firefox Finnish" problem.

I have used same .iso-file (8.04 Release) each computer and different CD and one CD I have checked md5sum
(8895167a794c5d8dedcc312fc62f1f1f ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso). Download by torrent.

Onebody has same bug in finnish Ubuntu-forum with same printer of mine (Samsung CLP-500).

[mikko (mikko-)]

Please confirm your problems also to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-support-fi/+bug/221376

I think this problem has nothing to do with printers. It's problem in firefox Finnish translations maybe.

Can chrome://global/locale/printProgress.dtd be opened from the firefox
location bar?

 status incomplete

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

asac: Yes, it opens. Looks normal, 8 lines of text, well I can even copy it here:

<!ENTITY printWindow.title "Tulostetaan">
<!ENTITY title "Otsikko:">
<!ENTITY progress "Edistyminen:">
<!ENTITY preparing "Valmistellaan…">
<!ENTITY printComplete "Tulostus valmis.">
<!ENTITY dialogCancel.label "Peruuta">
<!ENTITY dialogClose.label "Sulje">
<!ENTITY percentPrint "#1%">

fix committed for rosetta to po2xpi branch

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Thanks. I also got an information on IRC that updated language packs will be made when RC1 is out.

For those interested in a manual fix:

mkdir temp
cd temp
jar xvf /<email address hidden>/xulrunner-1.9-fi.jar
sed -i 's/%/\&#037;/' locale/fi/global/printProgress.dtd
jar cvf xulrunner-1.9-fi.jar locale
sudo mv xulrunner-1.9-fi.jar /<email address hidden>/

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Fix was rolled out to langpack-o-matic, so I close this task.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The langpacks will be fixed with the next regular update. Until then, please feel free to test the autogenerated ones in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/+archive (on Thursday they should do new ones) and give feedback here. Thanks!

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

It's Friday and the latest langpacks for 8.04 are still 8.04+20080506. Also dunno if it means something, but all (95%) the translations for xulrunner and firefox have disappeared from Rosetta for all languages but German: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/firefox-3.0/+pots/firefox , https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/xulrunner-1.9/+pots/xulrunner

It's been like that already for two weeks or so, I was wondering if it's something temporary or not, or if it matters. German was apparently restored by asac. Two or three language teams have clicked like crazy on the suggestions to get the translations back up, but it's not really sensible.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Timo, argh, that sounds serious. LP translations gurus, Alex, any idea why translations disappeared? I hope they can be restored wholesale?

Martin, thats why i asked you to not roll out new translations for
some time. The technical issues that lead to this are now all resolved
and we are about to reimport all translations. This should take just a
few more days.

(Some details:
We had to land a fix to improve how the context is parsed. Now we
support chome:// urls. Unfortunately that change needed us to reset
all current translations.
)

Sorry for the confusion; feel free to ping me on IRC if you have
further questions.

I checked with the 3.0rc1 and update language packs (20080527) in hardy-proposed. Unfortunately the xulrunner Finnish language pack is still broken for printing. Unpacking the xulrunner-1.9-fi.jar reveals that locale/fi/global/printProgress.dtd still has the non-correct <!ENTITY percentPrint "#1%"> form instead of using &#037; for %.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

ok, resurrecting this task.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

have to update po2xpi processor with real fix on rookery to fix for real.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

fix committed to bzr and rolled out to rookery.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted into hardy-proposed. Please test and give feedback here.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

The new proposed packages seem to work great. Tested Finnish on two different machines, one upgrading from the current hardy packages and one from the previous proposed packages. Printing works now, and everything else continues to work too.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I imported Alex' upload to langpack-o-matic, so that the next automatic update won't trash the fix again.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Any update on moving the current proposed firefox and language packs to -updates?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Copied to hardy-updates.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Yep, confirming this bug to be released and fixed.

[petsmmg (petsmmg)]

The problem also existed with Estonian language, but turning Xulrunner (et) off fixed it for now.

A fix is about to land soon in launchpad so this bug should probably
go away on next langpack update.
