"System Services" inaccessible in french

Can you install all updates and see if it is still not working. I just tried to reproduce the problem here and I can't get it to fail. Seems to work fine.

I can still reproduce it.

This is probably "personal bug", as I saw other persons having similar bugs, with other modules (or languages).

Same problem for me (french language, System services)... but after install and uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control packages.

I found a solution :

''Downgrade'' the package language-pack-kde-fr-base to version 1:6.06+20060427, and Services System panel works fine.

When I install the up-to-date version 1:6.06+20060511, and the bug is coming back...

Eric, can you please open a console and run "systemsettings" from there. Then try system services and then report any error messages in the console here.

Here is the error message :

Pythonize constructor -- pid = 6605

Problem with the translation ?

the same thing appears over here:

kubuntu dapper with the latest patches
german language pack

the difference to the error message eric posted is:
----------------
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
error: *** runFunction failure
;
----------------

with latest patches (kde-guidance) installed, the problem dissapeared.

good work!

Well... A bit slow to load, but works.

Feel free to re-open if needed !
