Re: Pypanel

Mr. Green, Your knowledge astounds me   Where do you get your information? Should a bug report be posted to PyPanel's Sourceforfe Page? Or is this an Arch related issue?

Thanks,

Re: Pypanel

:oops: nothing to do with me I'm afraid its Jon the developer of PyPanel I asked him about the problem & he knew how to fix it .

As you notice its not a problem with Pypanel itself but Xlib 

Any feedback ,screenshots, ideas etc...you or anyone else who uses Pypanel, Jon would like here to about them

Re: Pypanel

Right-o. I noticed there wasn't any mention of it @ PyPanel's SF.NET Bug Tracker / PyPanel's website itself. But If Jon knows about it... no sense in filing a report!

Re: Pypanel

because you have no locale setting....

uncomment your locale in /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen as root.
