Summary: system-config-language does not fixup
/boot/grub/grub.conf for dracut
Product: Fedora
Version: 12
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: system-config-language
AssignedTo: psatpute(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: fedora-bugzilla-odin(a)the-morg.org
QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: psatpute(a)redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs(a)redhat.com
Estimated Hours: 0.0
Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
Since there is no proper selection of locale during install (sure you can pick
English, but you can't pick the correct country, you just get forced into en_US
which you can then correct once installed).
The tool system-config-language does not fixup grub.conf to use the changed
locale.
THIS REPORT IS MADE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO CONCERNS MADE DURING A FEDORA12
INSTALLATION.

system-config-language not come into picture while installation process, and
s-c-l is not related anyway with grub.conf
i am really not understanding what you want exactly, i guess you wanna request
something to anaconda
please update this with steps, actual result and expected result, so it will be
little bit easy to resolve

system-config-language not come into picture while installation
process, and
s-c-l is not related anyway with grub.conf
This bug is about how changing the language post install with
system-config-language, does not update grub.conf to reflect the new language.
Now that we are using dracut for the initrd, grub.conf contains something like:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=root
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=ko rhgb quiet
(on one line)
dracut needs the SYSFONT, LANG and KEYTABLE information for things like showing
the correct translated messages while scanning storage, and more importantly
for proper unlocking of crypted disks.
mkinitrd use to hardcode the language inside the initrd, so after running
system-config-language, one needed to rerun mkinitrd to get this updated
propagated to the initrd.
dracut is more flexible wrt this. This does mean that system-config-language
will need to modify grub.conf when the system language is changed.

Note that SYSFONTACM and UNIMAP also need to be specified on the kernel cmdline
where applicable.

Further thoughts on this. Hans de Goede has understood the point being made.
Can GRUB be modified to allow a per image option "append-from-file locale.opts"
Making for something like (please excuse the specifics this is an FC4 example
grub.conf not an FC12) :
title Linux (2.6.y.z)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /zmlinuz-2.6.x.y.fc12.x86_64 ro root=LABEL=root rhgb quiet
append-from-file locale.opts
initrd /initrd-2.6.x.y.img
==== BEGIN /boot/grub/locale.opts ====
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
KEYTABLE=ko
==== END ====
What GRUB would then do is load up additional options from a file and then
perform an "options merge". If the same option name already exists in the
grub.conf (on the "kernel" command line) it will always have priority (and the
one from locale.opts is ignored/discarded). All the options from locale.opts
would be appended to the end of the existing command line.
Existance of the file /boot/grub/locale.opts is optional. IT SHOULD NEVER
CAUSE FAILURE TO BOOT.
If there is a parse error with /boot/grub/locale.opts the kernel should
continue to boot on a best-efforts basis. The parse can be made so simple that
a parse error should never occur, one option per line, first "=" delimits
name/value pair, leading white-space is removed, white-space around first "="
is removed, name or value part can be wrapped in quotations marks (which if
found as first and last character are removed from data), the rest is take
literally. A PARSE RROR SHOULD NEVER CAUSE FAILURE TO BOOT.
This would then mean applications like system-config-language would be editing
a much simpler text file and be spared the headache of future bugs relating to
"I used system-config-language" but my system no longer boots! Which would be
a major failure (in design).
I don't see why the system-config-language people should have the headache of
having to edit such an important system config file (grub.conf) themselves.
They require protection from problems, changes and lack of knowledge.
So GRUB either provides a tool to edit grub.conf or it provide a mechanism
(such as described above) to contain/encapsulate the potential for problems
occurring.

I see your point about parsing /etc/grub.conf is something
system-config-language does not want to do, and this is not necessary,
after writing the relevant /etc/sysconfig files, all that
system-config-language needs to do is call (as root):
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package <package-name> --dracut --install <uname -r>
For all installed kernels, so for example on my system:
[hans@localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-PAE
kernel-2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64
package kernel-PAE is not installed
[hans@localhost ~]$
It would need to call:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64
(this should be 3 lines)
But on a system which has
kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686
It would need to call:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel-PAE --dracut --install
2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686.PAE
Notice the PAE is in there now (2 times!)

After running these commands I still do not see any change in /etc/grub.conf.
Is this command correct or is there anything else that needs to be done.

I just did the following:
edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n, change LANG
run:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)
check grub.conf entry for currently running kernel, the LANG= argument
is changed.
So no there is not anything else that needs to be done. Perhaps you are running
these commands before writing the new config files ?
Thanks :), Would try and incorporate the changes in the next build.

tried this, working fine
i ran system-config-language checked grub.conf
after running
$/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)
changes in the /etc/sysconfig/i18n updated in grub.conf

Give me the exact commands and I will do it because after "rpm -q kernel

--install kernel-* does not write the file /etc/grub.conf.

only the command /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut
--install
$(uname -r) seems to work...
There is no single magic commandline you will need to either parse the output
of rpm -q kernel + rpm -q kernel-PAE, or better us the rpm python bindings to
get the versions of the installed kernels your self and then for each version
run:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install <version>
For example on my system "rpm -q kernel" gives:
kernel-2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64

kernel-2.6.33.1-26.fc13.x86_64
(yeah I need to cleanup a bit I guess)
So you should run:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-9.local.fc13.x86_64
<etc>
I'm sure I can whip up a bash script doing what you need, but there is little
point in that as you should be able to do the parsing and looping just fine in
python.

There is no single magic commandline you will need to either parse the output
of rpm -q kernel + rpm -q kernel-PAE, or better us the rpm python bindings to
get the versions of the installed kernels your self and then for each version
run:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install <version>
For example on my system "rpm -q kernel" gives:
kernel-2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33-9.local.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33-9.local2.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33.1-13.local3.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.34-0.11.rc1.git1.local3.fc14.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33.1-13.local4.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33.1-26.fc13.x86_64
(yeah I need to cleanup a bit I guess)
So you should run:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.52.rc8.git6.fc13.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install

Ah! you completely misunderstood me. The problem is not with parsing command
line, what I am saying is that command
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)
is working but other commands like
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
are not working. They do not write anything in /etc/grub.conf.

Ah! you completely misunderstood me. The problem is not with parsing
command
line, what I am saying is that command
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)
is working but other commands like
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
are not working. They do not write anything in /etc/grub.conf.
All that $(uname -r) does is run "uname -r" and put the output on the cmdline,
so on my system, where uname -r gives:
[hans@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.33.1-13.local4.fc13.x86_64
Doing:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)
Is *exactly* the same as doing:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.33.1-13.local4.fc13.x86_64
Note that rpm -q kernel gives:
[hans@localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.33-0.48.rc8.git4.local.fc13.x86_64
<snip>
kernel-2.6.33.1-13.local4.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33.1-26.fc13.x86_64
You can make the parsing of the output somewhat more easier by doing:
rpm --queryformat "%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" -q kernel
rpm --queryformat "%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}.PAE\n" -q kernel-PAE
Note that normally one of these 2 commands will output:
package kernel is not installed
resp:
package kernel-PAE is not installed
The other command will give a list of all version strings to pass to
new-kernel-pkg (one by one)

You need to remove these 2 lines now:
(cmdstatus, cmdout)= commands.getstatusoutput('/sbin/new-kernel-pkg
--package kernel --dracut --install $(uname -r)')
As those are redundant, since the same is done by the loop you've added.
Other then that I think this will work, but only testing on path i686-PAE and
other systems will tell for sure.
