https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794678 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794678#c0 Summary: top (procps-ng) has a locale-dpendent config file (~/.toprc) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Stromeko@NexGo.DE QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Firefox/17.0 ~/.toprc is locale-dependent: $ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 top ## write 'W' configuration file from within top $ LC_ALL=C top top: incompatible rcfile, you should delete '/home/user/.toprc' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start top with your locale and have it write the configuration file. 2. Try to start top with a different locale. Actual Results: 1. top writes configuration file in ~/.toprc 2. top does not start because it cannot read the configuration file it has written in step 1 Expected Results: The configuration file should not depend on locale at all or top needs to record the locale with the configuration so it will be able to use it when it is started under a different locale. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No response ... beside this the problem is fixed upstream
Oh please, have a bit of patience. The 1-click-install link went to something that didn't work, but pasting the factory repo URL from the browser into the installer did: yes, now top produces a .toprc using "." even when the locale is de_DE and it also expects such a file (so coming from a locale using "," you need to edit .toprc or create a new one). Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
