Hello dear Friends,

I trowed out my musescore 0.9.6 version an i installed the musescore 1.0 deb package (Ubuntu 10.04) and by the preferences you can not change the language! There is only the system choice and although my system is Greek the menus are appear in English.

LANG=el_GR.utf8
LC_CTYPE="el_GR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="el_GR.utf8"
LC_TIME="el_GR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="el_GR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="el_GR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="el_GR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="el_GR.utf8"
LC_NAME="el_GR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="el_GR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="el_GR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="el_GR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="el_GR.utf8"
LC_ALL=

I can tell you exactly what i have done!
Maybe i have done something wrong
I unistall the version 0.9.6 with sudo apt-get autoremove musescore

then i downloaded the musescore_1.0+dfsg-0ubuntu~lucid1_i386.deb

and installed it as usual with the deb installer of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
When i am going by the preferences there is only the system language choice

I have done the same thing in another pc that i have which runs aptosid απάτη (this is a debian derivative)
Firstly i have installed the musescore_0.9.6.2+dfsg-0ubuntu~lucid1_i386.deb and everything was ok, after i have done the same thing that i explained.

Have i done something wrong?
I have checked also under usr/share/mscore0.9/locale and the qm files are there is it maybe because the file name is still mscore 0.9 and not something like mscore 1.0?

Hi there,

to ensure things all work together, please do not get the deb files independently of the repository, unless you always make sure to grab *all* the updated package files. Please add the repository to your system as described on its page at [1]; then you should get updates automatically without having to worry about getting the files. Furthermore, you shouldn't need to remove the old versions before upgrading: dpkg does that for you.

I believe the problem here arises because you've installed a new version of the musescore package, but neglected to install a new version of the musescore-common package (which ships the translations); with both installed here, MuseScore localises correctly (see the attached screenshot). I'm building an updated package for Debian right now where that version dependency can't be satisfied unless you have both musescore and musescore-common installed at at least version 1.0.

Try updating musescore-common as well, preferably by adding the repository to your system, and upgrading in your usual manner.

Good luck!

Dear Toby,

I have some questions more and i could need your help!

1. I have added the repository and i 've installed musescore v.1.0 in Ubuntu 10.04
By the pallette by the Drums section there is nothing inside! Is this normal? (See the screenshot)

2. By Aptosid i 've added the repository and i 've install it and when i am trying to save the save window is like a wall! There is nothing to see!

3. Could be possible to create a musescore v 1.0 pet package for Puppy Linux 4.3.1, Puppy Linux 5.0?

Best regards
