------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-30-07 22:10 ------- Well, yes, it seems I'm using UTF-8 locales, when I type "locale" in the console, the output is as follows: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_AT.UTF-8 LC_ALL= although that's very interesting, the above (without errormessages) is only shown when I su to root, as normal user it shows the following: locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_NAME=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=is_IS.UTF-8 LC_ALL= strangely, ls --help as normal user delivers english text, while as root, it gives me german text (and YES, the german text also has corrupted umlauts, as well as other tools, like cp --help etc.) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: (just didn't know where I should file the bug, so I filed it under rxvt) in rxvt, aswell as any other console and also when changing to tty1 etc., umlauts are shown as cryptic signs, but not when I type them myself (that works perfectly), only when text is printed out onto the console from the computer
