[jaunty] Wubi crashes on startup to UnicodeDecodeError when not using English

[Timo Jyrinki]

LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8 wine wubi.exe:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\main.py", line 33, in ?
  File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\wubi\application.py", line 56, in run
  File "Z:\home\evan\bzr\wubi.trunk\build\wubi\files\lib\winui\ui.py", line 403, in show_error_message
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 36: ordinal not in range(128)

LANG=C wine wubi.exe:

(works)

Probably means that any language having non-ascii characters, ie. most of the languages, crash on startup currently. I can reproduce also eg. with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 wine wubi.exe.

Should have been fixed in rev 99

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

I can confirm this now works.

I'm experiencing a similar problem when trying to install wubi-r122 on a hebrew version of XP. log file attached.

[Raz Ziv (raz-ziv)]

Looking around the code, it seems the offending text comes from the windows username. i created a new windows account, with an english-only username, and wubi-r122 started fine.

[Agostino Russo (ago)]

Should be fixed in r124+, please test

[Agostino Russo (ago)]

I meant r126+, we are at 128 anyway.

[Dave Morley (davmor2)]

The behaviour now works thus

phïllîp now becomes phllp in wubi.

This is not ideal but is better than a crash.

[Raz Ziv (raz-ziv)]

I can confirm problem solved here too, since r127 (couldn't find r126...).
