German umlauts / special characters in filenames ?
Hello !
I followed the FAQ and, it works in parts (I use -current). I set LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES in .profile and .xsession in $HOME. Now, viewing files in more using XTerm (I haven't configured it) which contains öäü and others worked fine. Code:
$ locale LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_MESSAGES=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_ALL= But, if I use something like ls or colorls in XTerm, I got something like Code:
$ colorls ? Upload images posts templates TeX css index.html site.hs ???vR Thanks for ideas. |

Thanks for your answer.
I tried it launching a UXTerm from a XTerm - nope, the same result. |

Solved in parts - more ideas are very welcome.
I created a file using german umlauts with touch, to see whether OpenBSD's XTerm displayes the filename correct - nope. I checked my backup and, don't know from where the above strange files are - no problem, at the end booth files where empty. Yes - I know, I should not use special characters in filenames but, the company with the half-eaten Apple does it, if you bought music there ... so, ROX (the file manager) helped. It can't open the above strange files but let me rename them. ROX displayes the correct filename of the file, which I created using touch and, I get the information, that the filename contains a wrong UTF-8 format which I should rename. ROX displays also the correct filenames of the bought music which came from a HFS+ partition and are stored at the moment on a FAT32 partition. If I list the files which I renamed with ROX in XTerm, they are again displayed starnge. Before ö was replaced with ? now with ??. The question is now, should I continue with the UTF-8 locale or use another more specific one ? |

Thanks for your answer.
Yes, I will have a look at it. At the moment are some dependencies are not available to install it using -current. I will try it tomorrow again. |

New day, new try - more luck.
The installation of PCmanFM didn't worked - I will try that at another day with a 5.7 or 5.8 -release instead a -current. If I remember correct, it is the LXDE file manager which is also used in Raspbian on the RasPi - was not bad there. I tried all needed steps again with a new user and, it worked to display files which are created with OpenBSD and, listed / displayed using colorls. Don't know, what goes wrong yesterday - for now, let's call this topic as solved. Thanks for your answers. |
