** Description changed: Impact ------ The systemd journal gets a lot of warnings about an incorrect translation for the default Ubuntu Desktop when used with certain languages including Georgian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, and Russian. This issue is much worse if someone has enabled the show Seconds option in the top bar clock. This issue is being fixed by packaging the new bugfix release of gsettings-desktop-schemas 46.1. There were only translation updates in this release. + + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop- + schemas/-/compare/46.0...46.1 Test Case --------- 1. Open a terminal and run sudo apt install language-pack-gnome-lt 2. Close the terminal 3. Open the Settings app (gnome-control-center) 4. In the side bar, click System, then Date & Time. Turn on Seconds. 5. Close the Settings app. 6. Open the Language Support app. You can click Remind me later if you see a warning that says "The language support is not installed completely." 7. Drag Lietuvių to the top of the list. 8. Log out 9. Log back in. 10. Open a terminal and run journalctl -f. You should not see any of the clock-format warnings mentioned in the Original Bug Report below. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- As a component of GNOME core, there is a micro-release exception for gsettings-desktop-schemas. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME Other Info ---------- Because gsettings-desktop-schemas is included in Ubuntu language packs, this issue is actually only fixed with a language pack update. Ubuntu currently only updates language packs shortly before Ubuntu LTS point releases. Therefore, we will need to push this update without being able to verify the Test Case first. Original Bug Report ------------------- After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I ran journalctl -f and noticed that gnome-shell was spamming errors at the rate of 12 lines every second: geg. 02 18:29:19 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:19 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Failed to parse translated string '„24h“' for key 'clock-format' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.interface': 0:expected value geg. 02 18:29:20 blynas gnome-shell[3980]: Using untranslated default instead. My locale is lt_LT.UTF-8, but this issue appears also in ru_RU, id (Indonesian) and maybe other locales. This is caused by a mistaken translation of the quote characters in "'24h'" which is used as the default value for a particular gsettings key. Specifically, this translation: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/gsettings-desktop-schemas/+pots/gsettings-desktop-schemas/lt/232/+translate https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/gsettings-desktop-schemas/+pots/gsettings-desktop-schemas/ru/232/+translate https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+source/gsettings-desktop-schemas/+pots/gsettings-desktop-schemas/id/232/+translate Since I'm a member of the Lithuanian translators team, I've fixed the translation error for Lithuanian language in translations.launchpad.net, but I can't fix for other languages, also gnome-shell will continue to spam multiple errors every second until an updated language-pack-gnome- lt-base (and for other languages) is released. (I've also submitted a fixed Lithuanian translation upstream to l10n.gnome.org , but not for other languages) Workaround: run dconf-editor, find /org/gnome/desktop/interface/clock-format, uncheck Use default value, click Apply.
