Patch locale configuration tasks

By default, Ubuntu patch management supports only the English locale. To set up Ubuntu patching for non-English locales, complete the instructions in the following sections:

• Configuring the SA Core for non-English locales
• End user requirements for non-English locales

Configuring the SA Core for non-English locales

To configure the core for non-English locales, complete the following steps on each core server that is running the SA Client:

1. Log on to the server as root.

2. In /etc/opt/opsware/occ/psrvr.properties, change the line for

   pref.user.locales

   to

   pref.user.localesAllowed=en;ja;ko

3. Restart the SA Client on the core:

   /etc/init.d/opsware-sas restart occ.server

4. In a text editor, open the following file:

   /opt/opsware/occclient/jnlp.tmpl

5. For the Japanese language, in the <resources> section of the jnlp.tmpl file, add the following XML element:

   <property name="com.opsware.ngui.font.japanese" value="Arial Unicode MS"/>

6. For the Korean language, in the <resources> section of the jnlp.tmpl file, add the following XML element:

   <property name="com.opsware.ngui.font.korean" value="Arial Unicode MS"/>

7. In the /opt/opsware/occclientdirectory, if the following files exist, delete them:

   $HOST_ja.jnlp

   $IP_ja.jnlp

   $HOST_ko.jnlp

   $IP_ko.jnlp

   End user requirements for non-English locales

   To view non-English fonts in the SA Client:

   1. Verify that the Ubuntu desktop running the SA Client uses the Arial Unicode MS font.
   2. After the system administrator performs the steps in Configuring the SA Core for non-English locales, the end user logs on to the SA Client and selects their “Logged in as” link in the upper right corner of the SA Client window. This displays the User window. Select the Properties view.
   3. On the User Properties view, the end user updates the Locale field in the User Preferences section. For example, if the system administrator configured the core for Japanese, then the end user sets the Locale field to Japanese.
